Functionalities

User registration starts with UE sending a SIP REGISTER request to P-CSCF.
YateUCN will identify the HSS related data (local node to use, peer connection …) based on UE’s private identity, require authentication vectors from HSS (using MAR command) and challenge the UE.
When UE will answer and it’s response validated YateUCN will notify the HSS about user registration using SAR command.
User profile is requested from HSS on first registration only (if requested it is returned in the response to SAR). If a tel URI is returned by the HSS in user profile YateUCN will store it as MSISDN to be used later (e.g. route voice calls to it).
