https to http redirect

Hi,

 

 

We have an IP setup on out LTM that is doing nothing but redirecting traffic to an externally hosted site.

 

The port 80 redirect to http work fine.

 

 

I am trying to create an iRule that will redirect port 443 traffic to port 80.

 

 

For example:

 

 

https://abc.mycompany.com/work should redirect to

 

 

http://www.abc.mycompany.com/www/en-us/help/spp/

 

 

However, when I try this in a browser it hangs. Any ideas why this is not working?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

    Are you terminating the SSL sessions on the loadbalancer? The LTM cannot send the redirect back to the client unless its participating in the ssl session. Otherwise the data is encrypted and theres no way to send the redirect to the client.

    We were not doing this but I am installing the SSL ccert on the BIG-IP today. Once this is done, I will setup a client-ssl profile and then the redirect should work?

     

     

    Thanks,
