I have acquired some updated information to my situation.

Currently the WSDL I am accessing can be retrieved over http and I can 
read and use its functions.  The problem I run into is when I call those 
functions, the endpoint of the WSDL file calls a URL over https.

Using the program soapUI, I found that the error I received from the 
server says that I am not authenticated to read the data contained there.

Upon further investigations, I accessed the endpoint URL through firefox 
and saw that it used an SSL certificate.  I also saw in an earlier post 
that php5 SOAP functions are able to access endpoints that use https.

Would it be correct that this means that SSL is not causing problems in 
my code since I am able to receive a custom error from web services, so 
the problem is actually that I am not sending my username and pw?

If this is not the case, how can I automatically acquire this SSL 
certificate as it does not seem it is using any keys from me for 
authentication, rather just letting my know it is who i think it is.

Also, how do I go about sending my username and pw to the server?  There 
are no web services offered in the WSDL to allow me to authenticate at 
the endpoint URL.  So does this mean I have to send my credentials in 
the header of the SOAP request?  If so, are there standard tags that I 
can use to place my username and pw into?

The developer of these web services confirmed for me that the endpoint 
is using transport-level/SSL security and user authentication in the 
header, and sent me to this url for furhter help:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0504_cowan/0504_cowan.html 


Unfortunately, this url implements a web service client in J2EE/J2SE 
using proprietary tools, would there be anyone that can help me 
translate this tutorial into php to help further my development?  Thank 
you in advance, I will greatly appreciate it!
