Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for finding out which XDM server a specific user is allocated to in a network with several XDM servers. An HTTP proxy (120) receives an XCAP request (610) from an XDM client (100), including information related to a user associated with the XDM client. The HTTP proxy checks if the user exists in its storage (330), based on the received user information, and if not, the HTTP proxy creates a SIP request (630) including the user information, and passes it over to a SIP Proxy (130, 230). The SIP Proxy finds out which XDM server the user is allocated to by enquiring a subscriber database (140), and then the SIP proxy passes the XDM server address information back to the HTTP Proxy (640), which is then able to route the XCAP request (650) to the correct XDM server (150, 250).
