Hi Experts,
I'm trying to write some simple .NET code to authenticate programmatically against a UAG 2010 (SP3) server. All I care about at this moment is authenticating a session, once I can nail that I will move on to accessing resources behind the UAG
I am using guidance from some links but I am unable to post them since my account isn't authorized to post links, so I'm posting them as text

stackoverflow.com/questions/11875646/how-to-authenticate-programmatically-to-uag-for-sharepoint-with-windows-phone-ap
However, every time I try and authenticate, I check in the UAG Web monitor and the session remainds unauthenticated. I am hardcoding the user credentials within the post. The basic method I'm following is:
1) Do a GET on the login page, get the cookie
2) Do a POST on the login page with encrypted user credentials (passed through the headers) and the cookie obtained from step 1.
I have tried everything now but the session simply won't authenticate. I can authenticate using a browser without a problem, so I know UAG is working. Do I need to make any configuration changes to either UAG or TMG to allow it to authenticate programmatically?
I have also used fiddler2 to trace the headers being exchanged, and from what I can tell all the right information is being sent to the UAG server, but authentication is failing.
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
