HI,
I have an IIS 10 server, URL Rewrite, ARR 3.0, with two tomcat app servers on different servers (appserver1, appserver2). All traffic to my IIS servers must be directed via the URL Rewrite so my matching filter is "(.*)" for all rules.
I want users to be able to:
- go to "https://webserver1.acme.com/application" and hit "https://appserver1.acme.com/application"
- go to "https://webserver1.acme.com/application2" and hit "https://appserver2.acme.com/application"
Here is my rule set:
1)
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect to app server1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/application" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://appserver1.acme.com:9443/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
2)
<rules>
<rule name="Redirect to app server2" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/application2" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://appserver2.acme.com:9443/{R:1}" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
Doesn't seem to work. Any help? Thank you

I think you can use {REQUEST_URI} not {PATH_INFO} in conditions, it's better that PATH_INFO.
Doesn't seem to work. Any help?
Please use failed request tracing to check why these rules cannot work. The trace log can show you what happened during rewrite and which step failed. If the log shows that rewrite success, then check ARR if it forward correctly.

If you have any problem using failed request tracing to troubleshoot url rewrite, you can post it.

2022-05-10T18:52:04.8+00:00 Thank you! I will do that soon. I got the rewriting working however the backend destination is a tomcat application and it doesn't seem to be accessing the application properly via the browser (I'm getting a blank browser screen)

Do you mean that rewrite rule on IIS can work well and failed request tracing logs show that rewrite succeeded? If so, I think you need to check application tomcat. Maybe this issue caused by it. IIS just a proxy server to forward reqeust. Rewrite succeed means proxy successfully.

2022-05-11T18:30:42.857+00:00 With my original post, I sanitized the URLs. In the interest of not having to sanitize all the log files, here is exactly what I'm trying to do:
I want users to be able to:
- go to "https://webserver1.acme.com/UserManagement2" and hit the Tomcat application on a different server: "https://10.0.0.7:9443/UserManagement"
What does work is this:
- go to "https://webserver1.acme.com/UserManagement" and hit the Tomcat application on a different server: "https://10.0.0.7:9443/UserManagement"
This rule does not seem to work (See no_work_req_UserManagement2_fr000003.xml) and directs me to a blank page:
<rules>
<rule name="UMSRedirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{PATH_INFO}" pattern="^/UserManagement2" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="https://10.0.0.7:9443/UserManagement" appendQueryString="true" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
</rule>
</rules>This rule works (See works_req_UserManagement_fr000004.xml) and directs me to the Tomcat application:
<rules>
<rule name="UMSRedirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" pattern="^/UserManagement" />
</conditions>
<serverVariables />
action type="Rewrite" url="https://10.0.0.7:9443/{R:0}" appendQueryString="true" logRewrittenUrl="true" />
</rule>
</rules> -
