Oracle Access Manager API (ASDK) - ObUserSession / ObConfig Issues

Question

I am currently working with the ASDK and CoreID 7.0.4. I have gotten my custom Access Gate to the point where I wanted to start testing it out with my applications. I very quickly ran into some issues:
Im my code I am making a connection to the Access Server in order to obtain an ObSSOCookie to use while making IDXML requests. Everything works perfectly when I am running a single process.
Once I palce my code in a few processes I immeadiately start getting some issues.
When running as a single process, "_OBUserSession.getSessionToken()", returns a nice encoded string that can be placed within an HTML header for my IDXML requests.
When running multiple processes, only the first process gets a nice encoded token. All subsequent processes get a NON encoded string. The NON encoded strings appears to be a valid session token... Its just not encoded.
Further more... when I print out the properties of the ObUserSession objects, they all come back as valid, logged-in, and authorized.
I have narrowed things down to the ObConfig.initialize("MYINSTALLDIR") and ObConfig.shutdown() methods as the cause. Basically, if there is more than one active initialization of my Access Gate, it fails to encode session tokens.
If anyone has some insight or advice I would greatly appreciate it. I am currently looking into the "Maximum Connections" parameter on my Access Gate to see if that has an effect. I am not confident it will... since I do get a valid ObUserSession object... it just failes to encode the token.
-thanks

First I too thought this problem could have surfaced due to multiple initialization of same Access Gate (AG). But that doesn't answer how un-encoded token is availed in subsequent calls to getSessionToken().
I believe you are on the right track and make sure that you set the "max connections" to a value higher than the number of processes invoking the Initialize. If this doesn't work then you should try with initializing AG only once and try.
Do let me know if you happen to get the solution for this problem.
