How do I overcome the fact that not all HTTP requests require redirection

                   I have the following scenario, The Business require that the main login to JDE is just http://prod.apps, I use a redirect server to change it to

http://prod.apps:12001/prod/Mainmanu.maf  so that all works well , but reports and approvals generate links with URIs so the redirect does not work. To overcome this problem I have generated another context with a different VIP without a redirect server and that seems to work ok. But the apllication programmers have to ensure that any reports etc point to this new VIP.

Is there a better  way of doing this?

Hi

You may  use L7 http class map and add additional matching by GET field in url request (as one possibility). E.g.

currently you have something like this :

policy-map type load first NAME

class class-default

serverfarm

you may add something like this :

class type http load match-any

match http url

then your L7 map will look like :

policy-map type load first NAME

class

serverfarm

class class-default

serverfarm

I think it should allow you to have only one VIP for this application. Please try - if you don't succeed, please post URL you use to access reports/approvals links.

If this answer resolved your problem - please mark it as correct it will help to keep our forum more organized.

Thank you.

Borys,

looks like you got me on the right track, The business just wanted to have a simple link to JDE,

I'll have a play with a test setup later, and let you know how I go

thanks for your help

Borys, thanks for your help seems to be working ok, thoughIi will need to do further testing before goes into the production Context.

I do get the following system log messages though when I connect

%ACE-3-400001 MSS mismatch from 172.16.5.185:12001 (1460) to 172.16.10.25:49591(1260) on interface vlan171

I am running A4(2.1) on the ACE and there is a fix in later releases for this, also I am conecting thru a VPN so that might mean the MSS is less on the client. I see what it is like when I am in the office tomorrow.
