I think in the first instance, can we see the code you are using to make the request? I use the Zend_Soap_[Client|Server|WSDL|AutoDiscovery] but not with external Auth (like you are wanting). Instead, one of my services is the auth service (username is sent plain text and password is sent MD5 with a nonce - I believe the principle is sound. I chose this as I was being REALLY lazy in not learning about how to do Auth any other way. Richard. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
