@zaidka could you please help me to understand how the GenieACS is making decision on how to communicate with the CWMP client/CPE via Connection Request in the scenario when the CPE/client has XMPP configured? Is there specific parameter the GenieACS is checking in the data base to decide whether use direct connection for Connection Request or making it via XMPP server? I can only suspect this parameters may be: Device.ManagementServer.ConnReqJabberID or Device.XMPP.Connection.{i}.JabberID I will be appreciated for you answer. ---

It attempts to send an XMPP connection request if the following two conditions are met: - The environment variable `GENIEACS_XMPP_JID` is set. - The parameter `ManagementServer.ConnReqJabberID` holds a _truthy_ value (e.g. non-empty string) Otherwise, it falls back to a regular HTTP-based connection request.
