Using my forks of Akami and Savon to sign a request with a X.509 certificate. See https://github.com/genuitytech/akami and https://github.com/genuitytech/savon.
client = Savon::Client.new do
# This can be a URL also
wsdl.document = "/Path/to/your.wsdl"
# These are optional, only if your WSDL sucks :)
wsdl.endpoint = "https://your_endpoint"
wsdl.namespace = "http://your_namespace"
certs = Akami::WSSE::Certs.new :cert_file => "/path/to/cert.crt", :private_key_file => "/path/to/private/key.pem", :private_key_password => "password"
wsse.sign_with = Akami::WSSE::Signature.new certs
