Registration identifier reuse
First Claim
1. A method in a computing system for identifying a persistence of a user agent instance to logical server registration pair, the method comprising:
- generating a first identifier for a first user agent instance;
using the identifier for a registration of the first user agent instance with a logical server;
associating the identifier with the first user agent instance to the logical server registration session; and
using the identifier for a subsequent registration of the first user agent instance with the logical server, wherein the registration and subsequent registration is of the first user agent instance within an application instance, and the identifier uniquely identifies the registration and subsequent registration of the first user agent instance with the logical server.

Abstract
A facility for generating and using a unique identifier as a key to identify a unique user agent instance among multiple user agents of the same user is provided. The facility generates an identifier for a first user agent instance, which is an instance of a user in an application instance. The facility uses the identifier for a registration of the first user agent instance with a logical server, and associates the identifier with the first user agent instance and the logical server registration pair. The facility then uses the identifier for a subsequent registration of the first user agent instance with the logical server.

9. A computer-readable storage medium whose contents cause a computer to:
-
generate an identifier for a first user agent instance of a user;
register the first user agent instance with a server using the identifier;
associate the identifier with the first user agent instance to the server registration session; and
re-register the first user agent instance with the server using the identifier, wherein the registration and the re-registration is of the first user agent instance within an application instance, the identifier uniquely identifies both the registration and re-registration of the first user agent instance with the server. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

- 15. One or more computer memories collectively comprising an identifier that uniquely identifies a first user agent instance with a logical server registration session pair, the first user agent instance being an instance of a user within an application instance, such that the identifier is maintained for the lifetime of the user agent instance and reused across multiple logical registration sessions of the first user agent instance with the logical server.

22. A system for identifying a persistence of a user agent instance to logical server registration pair, the system comprising:
-
a means for generating an identifier for a first user agent instance, the first user agent instance being an instance of a user;
a means for registering the first user agent instance with a logical server; and
a means for associating the identifier with the first user agent instance to the logical server registration session;
such that the identifier is reused across multiple logical registration sessions of the first user agent instance with the logical server registration sessions, and the identifier uniquely identifies the first user agent instance to the logical server registration session.
