I have a WCF service which I am able to connect to from my web application and get data.

I now added a web reference to this wcf project to a wsdl file that a shipping company provides. Intention is to get shipping quotes..

I am able to access the objects that are generated from this wsdl file but when I call service.Authenticate("DEMO");

method almost nothing happens. I debug and see the debugger continue to the next lines but there is no change on service parameters and service.isauthorized is null..

Can you lead me to how I should debug this further and things I should check, or if there are additional steps that I need to ensure to have a web reference working on wcf app

Thanks
