multiple url publishing using same oracle peoplesoft application server with SSL offloading on f5

Hello All, we are trying to publish some applications which are hosted on same peoplesoft application server but on different port. Moreover, management has requirement to do ssl offloading for all applications.here is the issue description so currently applications are working directly through publishing on server without f5: 1. http://abc.xyz.com:8830/psp/PACE/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/h/?tab=DEFAULT&cmd=login is going to serverX on port 8830 2. http://abc.xyz.com:8990/psp/PACE/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/h/?tab=DEFAULT&cmd=login is going to serverX on port 8990

 

Now management wants that SSL offloading + remove port from url+ same virtual server 443 from f5 side for external users. So requirement is: 1. https://abc.xyz.com/psp/PACE/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/h/?tab=DEFAULT&cmd=login Should go to pool_8830 2. https://abc.xyz.com/psp/PACE/EMPLOYEE/EMPL/h/?tab=DEFAULT&cmd=login Should go to pool_8990

 

Note: in this case both the urls are same so how can we make changes at f5 end? can we do any changes using STREAM irule as frontend traffic will be on same https 443 port only but at the backend when f5 communicates to server, traffic will be on two different ports.

  • This may seem obvious, but if the requests come in identical there is no way to determine which pool to send them to. The requests would have to be different, either in host name or URI.
