[SOLVED] SOAP AuthRequest for SSO-style Authentication

[jonnybravo]

I'm not one for asking for help but this one's got me stumped. I've searched through the forums and could not find a solution that helped with my particular problem. I'm trying to have my Zimlet call a web service (via /service/proxy) and the communication works fine but one thing I'm doing is passing the ZM_AUTH_TOKEN to my web service where I then proceed to send a SOAP call back to Zimbra to authenticate the user. Unfortunately, and I've tried many variations of this SOAP call, the call always fails with the same error message: service.AUTH_REQUIRED (no valid authtoken present)

Here's a look at the SOAP I am both sending and receiving:

Send:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
     <soap:Header>
          <context xmlns="urn:zimbra" />
     </soap:Header>
     <soap:Body>
          <AuthRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAccount">
               <authToken>[ZM_AUTH_TOKEN]</authToken>
          </AuthRequest>
     </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Where the [ZM_AUTH_TOKEN] is *actually* the ZM_AUTH_TOKEN passed from the Zimlet in the service call (regex: /[0-9]_[a-z0-9]{40}_[a-z0-9]{200}/).

Response from Zimbra:

               <soap:Code>
                    <soap:Value>soap:Sender</soap:Value>
               </soap:Code>
               <soap:Reason>
                    <soap:Text>no valid authtoken present</soap:Text>
               </soap:Reason>
               <soap:Detail>
                    <Error xmlns="urn:zimbra">
                         <Code>service.AUTH_REQUIRED</Code>
                         <Trace>btpool0-2:1218032929477:c2fb88ceae4b666a</Trace>
                    </Error>
               </soap:Detail>
          </soap:Fault>
     </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

As far as I can tell, according to the limited documentation I've seen for SOAP & Zimbra this is perfectly fine, but it's obviously not working...

Yeah, turns out I was doing everything A-OK. Hopefully this post can serve as a guide for anyone looking to do the same thing. The problem turned out to be an environment issue that was causing me to send requests to the wrong mail server.
