Good day, I'm hoping someone can assist. I have the Web Admins reqeusting that they want the users to be able to just put in there browser http://www.company.com and then automatically be transfered to http://www.company.com/site_a. Currently this is the content rule I have setup.
service ws1
ip address x.x.x.10
keepalive port 80
keepalive type http
redundant-index 20195
keepalive uri "/site_a/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=ws1"
active
service ws2
ip address x.x.x.11
keepalive port 80
keepalive type http
redundant-index 20195
keepalive uri "/site_a/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=ws2"
active
content site_a
redundant-index 20195
add service ws1
add service ws2
vip address x.x.x.4
advanced-balance sticky-srcip
protocol tcp
port 80
url "//www.company.com/*"
active
What would I need to do to change or add inorder for all requests matching the following http://www.company.com/site_a to be redirected to http://www.company.com ?
I do not prefer to utilize service redirectes unless it's back through the content switch. Will the content redirect work for what I'm asking? If so how do I format the content rule?
Thx

Based on the link above, all you need to do is add the following content rule
content redirect_site_a
vip address x.x.x.4
protocol tcp
port 80
url "//www.company.com/"
redirect "//www.company.com/site_a"

Thanks for the quick reply,
So I do not need another css rule? In the content rule just add the redirect string to the content rule.
That would be a great help.
Thx

One more question, Since I'm redirecting to a page off of the primary content rule, all CSS load balancing decisions will still come into play?

you need to create a new rule.
Read my example carefully.
The content rule name is different
I call it redirect_.... and the url is also different - there is no "*" at the end.
Just add the new rule exactly as I sent it.
It will intercept all http request for the default site "/" and redirect it to site_a.
The client will submit a new request for site_a and it will match your first rule.
