external domainname replace and uri masking

Hello Everyone,

 

I'm new to iRule and looking help on iRule on F5 BIG-IP which has successfully configured VIP with DNS (https://api-internal.net/docs) and able to resolve VIP using browser. The problem F5 BIG-IP is not able keep track/control on its own VIP once HTTP::redirect to external domain and uri, no iRule logic is working after HTTP::redirect. I'm looking to handle the external domain traffic along with domainname replace and uri masking and F5 LB should only show its local domain and uri which is https://api-internal.net/docs but internally it should redirect to get all traffic from external domain and uri - https://anypoint.example.com/exchange/portals/example-serv-3/ which I'm not able to make this working.

 

I have tried from my end and went thru this page https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.STREAM__enable.ashx which have all possible example cover at the end of page either iFrame or proxypass or uri masking etc, and nothing is much helpful and I need suggestions or pointers to solve this.

 

Thanks

    Are you saying that you want to rewrite redirects or the HTML links on the page? They are two different things.

    Try this instead - it will change all redirects to be this host

    when HTTP_RESPONSE {
    if { [HTTP::header exists Location] } {
        set path [URI::path [HTTP::header Location]]
        set query [URI::query [HTTP::header Location]]
        set location "https://my.host$path?$query"
        HTTP::header replace Location $location
        log local0. "Rewriting Location [HTTP::header Location] to $location"
    }
}

    Install and run this and check the logs in /var/log/ltm
