An XML Document Management Server for use within an IP Multimedia Subsystem, IMS, network and being configured to enable IMS subscribers and a network operator to manage supplementary service data stored in a subscription data repository. The Server comprises a first interface or interfaces for receiving supplementary service data requests, and a request parser configured, for each request, to parse the request to determine if it contains both an X-3GPP-Asserted-Private-Identity header and an X-3GPP-Asserted-Identity header. The server further comprises an Sh interface for generating an Sh message corresponding to each request and, in the event that both an X-3GPP-Asserted-Private-Identity header and an X-3GPP-Asserted-Identity header are present in the request, for including these in the Sh message, and for sending the Sh message to said subscription data repository.

User data management

Example embodiments presented herein are directed towards a network node, and corresponding method, for conference handling. The method comprises receiving an invitation, from an initiating user equipment, to create an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) conference, the invitation comprising a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) associated with the initiating user equipment. The method further comprises obtaining a conference focus identifier associated with a conference focus unit hosting the IMS conference, and compiling a mapping of the URI and the conference focus identifier. The method also comprises receiving, from a participating user equipment, a communication request comprising the URI associated with the initiating user equipment, and forwarding, based on the mapping, the participating user equipment to the IMS conference associated with the conference focus identifier.
