Technique for obtaining a policy for routing requests emitted by a software module running on a client device
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining, in a communication network, a routing policy indicating rules for routing requests transmitted by a software module running on a client device, said method comprising the following processes, implemented during attachment of the client device to the communication network:
- sending, by the client device, to an authentication server of the communication network, a connection context request in order to attach the client device to the communication network;
receiving, by the client device, from the authentication server, a connection context response, said connection context response comprising an identifier of a routing rule management apparatus storing a routing rule managed by the communication network; and
obtaining, by the software module, the routing policy, from at least one first rule for routing to a proxy apparatus certified by the operator of the communication network, said rule being obtained using the identifier.

Abstract
One embodiment relates to a method for obtaining, in a communication network, a routing policy indicating rules for routing requests emitted by a software module running on a client device. The method comprises sending, by the client device, a connection request to an authentication server of the communication network in order to attach the client device to the communications network- and receiving, by the client device, a connection context response from the authentication server. The context comprises an identifier of a system for managing routing rules. The software module obtains the routing policy in accordance with at least one first rule for routing to a proxy system certified by the operator of the communications network obtained by means of the identifier.

8. A client device configured to obtain an identifier of a routing rule management apparatus, said client device comprising a processor and a memory, the processor configured to:
-
send a connection context request to an authentication server in order to attach the client device to a communication network; receive a connection context response, said connection context response comprising an identifier of a routing rule management apparatus storing a routing rule managed by the communication network; and obtain a routing policy intended to be used by the client device, using the identifier of the routing rule management apparatus.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a client device cause said client device to perform a method for obtaining, in a communication network, a routing policy indicating rules for routing requests transmitted by a software module running on said client device, said method comprising the following processes, implemented during attachment of said client device to the communication network:
-
sending, by the client device, to an authentication server of the communication network, a connection context request in order to attach the client connection context request in order to attach the client device to the communication network; receiving, by the client device, from the authentication server, a connection context response, said connection context response comprising an identifier of a routing rule management apparatus storing a routing rule managed by the communication network; and obtaining, by the software module, the routing policy, from at least one first rule for routing to a proxy apparatus certified by the operator of the communication network, said rule being obtained by means of the identifier. - View Dependent Claims (14)
