Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1. Overview

This modules publishes information about "reg"-events according to to RFC 3680. This can be used distribute the registration-info status to the subscribed watchers.

This module "PUBLISH"es information when a new user registers at this server (e.g. when "save()" is called) to users, which have subscribed for the reg-info for this user.

This module can "SUBSCRIBE" for information at another server, so it will receive "NOTIFY"-requests, when the information about a user changes.

And finally, it can process received "NOTIFY" requests and it will update the local registry accordingly.

Use cases for this might be:

  • Keeping different Servers in Sync regarding the location database
  • Get notified, when a user registers: A presence-server, which handles offline message storage for an account, would get notified, when the user comes online.
  • A client could subscribe to it's own registration-status, so he would get notified as soon as his account gets administratively unregistered.
