HTTP redirect based on client IP

Former Member

Hello,

Is anyone aware of a method to redirect an HTTP request based on the Client IP using ICM/Web Dispatcher?

The "icm/HTTP/redirect_" parameter doesn't appear to allow you to use the client IP as a criteria for the redirect, and I have not been able to find any other indication of how this might be accomplished on SMP, SDN, or Online Help.

The goal of this is to perform a protocol switch and redirect all HTTP requests from a specific IP range to HTTPS.

thanks!

Hi,

I think that redirection based on client IP is not possible.

I would create a separate virtual host (either on the ICM or more likely with a web dispatcher) and only allow the client IP range on a specific virtual host.

Good luck !

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, even the virtual hosting will not allow me to perform any redirection based on client IP. We would like to maintain one single URL for our users, whether from one IP range or another.

Anyone know how this could be accomplished outside of ICM/WebDisp?

Just a thought:

Have two instances of Web Dispatcher, listening on different ports.

Split incoming connections to different ports, whichever way is available:

1. Ask you network team to forward request from one subnet to one port and another subnet to another port.

2. On Windows server use RRAS

3. On any server use software routing;

4. Setup routing appliance before the server.

Not too elegant, but should work...
