DEVICE MANAGEMENT SESSION TRIGGER

A system and method for initiating a Device Management (DM) session between a client and a server. More particularly, a system and method for triggering an Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DM client which does not support User Data Protocol (UDP) PUSH messaging to initiate a DM session with an OMA DM server. The OMA DM client may be triggered by configuring a service provider node to include an indicator in a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response message sent from a service provider node to the OMA DM client. Upon reception of the last HTTP response message, the OMA DM client may initiate a DM session with a OMA DM server and thereby receive initial provisioning data from the OMA DM server. Alternatively, the OMA DM server and OMA DM client may maintain a previously created DM session and thereby receive the initial provisioning data.
