Missing Security header in SOAP

Question

Hello!
I used WSDLs to  generate a few client proxy classes in order to access web services of a 3rd party application. The first call was successfull: I called START_SESSION method passing username and password and got proper response (ticket, session ID). Afterwards, I wanted to call methods of other proxy classes of the same application and always got
SoapFaultCode:1  WSDoAllReceiver: Request does not contain required Security header
How do I pass security header and what does it consist of? I suppose ticket and/or session ID, but it is not part of any method's interface.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Igor
Unfortunately, WSDL is not available in public. If necessary; I'll post it, but for the first post I'll try not to occupy space.

Hi!
I did research on this topic with server application and I quote what I found:
<i>The Alfresco web services have always used the WS Security header to pass the ticket information to the server.
The ticket is plucked out of the password parameter and cross checked within the server to ensure the request can proceed.
So long as you construct the WS Security header correctly authentication at the repository should occure without problem</i>
I get the ticket from the successfull call of START_SESSION method of different (authentication) proxy class, but don't know what to do with it. How to include it in security header of another proxy method call? Or should I do something else?
I'll describe what I tried - please see if I did something wrong:
1. In SE80 -> Client proxy maintenance, I selected tab Preconfiguration, selected "Session-Oriented communication" -> Checked "Select Feature"
2. Same tab, selected "Authentication" -> Basic
3. Activated the proxy
4. WSSPROFILE -> Created profile based on CHECK_USERNAME template
5. LPCONFIG -> Selected operation GET_USER, entered the newly created profile both in ProfileIn and ProfileOut, activated
6. Activated client trace, called method and got SOAP request without any security info in header:
<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap-env:Header>
    <n0:Trace xmlns:n0="http://www.sap.com/webas/630/soap/features/runtime/tracing/">
      <TraceLevel xmlns="http://www.sap.com/webas/630/soap/features/runtime/tracing/">Error</TraceLevel>
    </n0:Trace>
  </soap-env:Header>
  <soap-env:Body>
    <nr1:getUser xmlns:nr1="http://www.alfresco.org/ws/service/administration/1.0" xmlns:nr2="http://www.alfresco.org/ws/model/content/1.0">
      <nr1:userName>ADMIN</nr1:userName>
    </nr1:getUser>
  </soap-env:Body>
</soap-env:Envelope>
I must have done something wrong.

Igor
