Evaluating Session Case in the P-Served-User Header

The P-served-user header field conveys the identity of the served user, the session case that applies to the particular communication session, and application invocation, as defined in RFC 5502 and TS 24.229. The Session Case (sescase) and Registration State (regstate) parameters are either populated by the UA originating the message or by the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager after it determines if a request is originating or terminating, and registered or unregistered

The P-served-user header is created and added to an outgoing request if the next hop is trusted. A trusted next hop is an entity defined by a session agent whose trust-me parameter is enabled. Likewise, the P-served-user header is stripped if the request is forwarded to a next hop that is not known to be trusted.

When the Oracle Communications Unified Session Manager creates a P-served-User header, the user value in the originating case is the user value found in the P-Asserted-Identity header field. In the terminating case, the user value is taken from the Request URI.
