Application profile must be created to define the behavior of a particular type of network traffic

For NSX-T, two application profiles need to be created to:

  • Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

  • Handle HTTPS traffic

After the configuration of an application profile, the same should be associated with a virtual server. The virtual server then processes traffic according to the options specified in the application profile.

Configure the Application Profile for HTTP requests:

  • Go to Networking -> Load balancing -> Profiles

  • Select Profile Type
