ACE URL rewrite SSL from HTTP to HTTPS

Hello Guys,

I have a wildcard certificate installed on my ace context.now we need to add a rewrite rule to the ACE on VIP: 10.40.81.14 to redirect http traffic to https. Basically anytime someone tries to hit http://portal.abc.com or http://portal.abc.com/list it should automatically redirect to https://portal.abc.com/list "

Example config on my ACE:

Example config on my ACE: HTTP-to-HTTPS Redirect w/SSL Termination

With this example config, clients that connect to the VIP on port 80 (HTTP) will be redirected to the same FQDN and path using port 443 (HTTPS). Clients will then open an HTTPS session to the ACE where the SSL session will be terminated and load balanced to the real servers.

You can use redirect rserver to redirect HTTP connections to HTTPS. The HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect in this example is a 301 redirect (permanent). The 301 can be either removed or changed to 302 to revert to the default of a temporary redirect.
