Redirect to a different URI in F5

Sometimes we need requests to a certain URI to be redirected to a different one, i.e., a request to https://www.ejemplo.com, may need to end at https://www.ejemplo.com/login. For this we have the iRules.

Configure iRule

• Local Traffic -> iRules -> iRule List

• Name = nombre
• Definition =

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/"}
 {
    HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/login"
 }
}

Apply the iRule

• Local Traffic -> Virtual Servers -> Virtual Server List

• Select VIP

• Resources -> Manage iRules

• Select the iRule from the available list and add it to the enabled list.
