ACE 80 to 8443 redirect

[ERIC BARNETT]

So I'm horrible with dealing with the ACE so please be a thorough as possible.

Here's my problem. I've got a series of servers that runs SSL at port 8443. I need to be able to redirect ALL calls to it (http or https). I need to load balance those as well. I can't seem to find the right set of commands to make this work.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Eric,

You would need to configure redirect server like this:

rerver redirect redirect_http_https
  webhost-redirection https://%h%p:8443   ; <<<<port specified
  inservice

Now for HTTPS requests to get redirected we need to be able to look into the HTTP header and that is possible if SSL offloading is happening on ACE. For HTTP requests it should be fine but you would need to upload certificate and key on ACE for ACE to decrypt https request, look into the header and send a redirect.

But yes, you can mention the port and it should redirect to 8443.
