Apex_util.prepare_url from PL/SQL (outside APEX)

Question

Hello there,
I have to create a job that sends emails with a link to a page with SSP actived and that requires authentification.
I've read those threads from Dan and Omar and I wonder if this is still possible in APEX 4.2.1?
Re: apex_util.prepare_url outside of ApEx
Create APEX session context from outside APEX (plsql)
My procedure generate the link with the checksum, but when I try to access the page I got an error :
•is_internal_error: true
•apex_error_code: APEX.SESSION_STATE.SSP_VIOLATION2_FOR_DEVELOPERS
•error_backtrace: ----- PL/SQL Call Stack -----

Maybe I'm missing something.
