[Serusers] Sending NOTIFY messages from presence module to an SIP Proxy Server

Dear Vaclav,


using record-route() in the OSER configuration really did the job.
Thank you for your assistance!


Here is a small summary for the community:

The goal: 
Separate SIP registration and routing from presence services
One SER (or OpenSer in my case) shall do all the SIP registration and SIP routing and whatever you want. I call it here OSER.
A second SER with the PA and RLS module shall only process presence related stuff. I call it here SIP-PA_RLS.
The call flow shall always be accross the OSER: Clients send SUBSCRIBE and PUBLISH via tghe OSER to the SIP-PA_RLS. SIP-PA_RLS send back NOTIFY messages to the clients via the OSER.

The solution:
The SIP-PA_RLS can run with the (slightly adapted) standard configuration of the SER Presence Snapshot. Of course you can disable non presence related messages, if you will.

The OSER needs the following forward rule, which MUST include the register_route():

...
if (method=="SUBSCRIBE" and src_ip!=SER-PA_RLS_IP ||
    method=="NOTIFY" and src_ip!=SER-PA_RLS_IP ||
    method=="PUBLISH" and src_ip!=SER-PA_RLS_IP) {

    # needed here so SER-PA_RLS will route NOTIFY messages via OSER
    record_route(); 
    
    forward_udp(SER-PA_RLS_IP,5060);
    exit;
 };
...


You can find the call flows below in this mail.


best regards
Toni
