IP address appears in URL after http redirect

[s.loizou]

Do I have to have to add some DNS parameters to the CSS to avoid having the IP address of the server being exchanged for the name on the URL, after an HTTP redirect?

[Gilles Dufour · Accepted solution]

is the redirect sent by the CSS ?

Is it the result of configuring a redirect service or the CSS breaking persistence ?

If the later, try configuring 'persistence reset remap' in global configuration mode.

The problem occurs on HTTP>HTTPS redirects....I'm sure I've read somewhere that that some local DNS settings are required on the CSS to avoid this happening but I can't seem to find it on Cisco.

Thanks for the quick response.

there is no local dns settings on the CSS.

Please send us your config and tell me which ip address you see.

Hi Giles,

The Ip address that is returned is in the Default-Redirect service domain config below:

You see the ip address in the browser, because this is the redirect you configured.

domain https://148.106.128.234

Replace the ip address above with a valid domain name and this is what will appear in your client browser.

Gilles.

You know, I feel like a burk, I had tried this before and it didn't work. Tried it now and all is fine.

Sorry to have bugged with such a trivial matter
