Access denied when using IdentityXML with WebGate

Question

Hello,
Here is our setup:
- COREid Identity 7.0.4,
- COREid Access 7.0.4,
- WebPass,
- WebGate,
- IIS 6 (hosting the identity application)
We enabled the default policies to protect the /identity URL.
We are using webservice calls (using C# with WSDL proxies) to query the identity server from other applications.
Prior to enabling the Access policies this was working fine, now we get an Access denied error message.
It looks like WebGate is blocking the IDXML calls.
Does anyone knows what is causing this problem and how to solve it ?
My first guess was to use the Access SDK to build an obSSOCookie and join it to the request, however the developper guide doesn't provide may examples on how to practically do this. Will it solve my problem ?
Thank in advance,
Franck

Thanks for your answer.
I eventually found a workaround for this problem.
Actually you don't need to provide an SSO cookie the first time you connect to the webgate server, you just need to provide basic credentials and the webgate will provide you an SSO cookie that you can use for the next call.
The problem is that this doesn't work out of the box with the .NET/WSDL framework for some reason (with Java + the HTTPClient library I had no problem).
I had to had manually the following headers to the HTTP request to make it work:
Authentication: Basic XXXXXXXX
Cookie: OBBasicAuth=fromDialog
Where XXXXXXXX is a base64 encoded string containing "login:password"
Thanks,
