Ruby and SOAP creating a web service proxy and namespace - ruby

Question

I am SOAP novice, but I have been struggling with this for days and can't figure out where I'm going wrong. I'm trying to use Ruby to talk to VMware Site Recovery Manager
I have a powershell script that can successfully use to login. I want to take this powershell script and re-write it in ruby.
Here are the wsdl files:
https://srm-vcenter-a:8095/srm?wsdl
http://pastebin.com/xJ6AwLaC
https://srm-vcenter-a:8095/srm-Service?wsdl
http://pastebin.com/nmH5mzdH
The powershell code
$Server = "srm-vcenter-a"
$UserName = "administrator"
$Password = "mypw"
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::ServerCertificateValidationCallback = {$true}
Write-Host "Connecting to SRM"
$webSvc = New-WebServiceProxy ("https://" + $Server + ":8095/srm-Service?wsdl") -Namespace SRM
$srm = New-Object SRM.SrmService
$srm.Url = "Https://" + $Server + ":9007"
$srm.Timeout = 600000
$srm.CookieContainer = New-Object System.Net.CookieContainer
$srmSvcRef = New-Object SRM.ManagedObjectReference
$srmSvcRef.Type = "SrmServiceInstance"
$srmSvcRef.Value = $srmSvcRef.Type
$srmSvcContent = $srm.RetrieveContent($srmSvcRef)
$srm.SrmLoginLocale($srmSvcRef, $UserName, $Password, $null)
$srmObject = New-Object System.Object
$srmObject | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -value $Server -Name SRMServer
$srmObject | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -value $srm -Name SRMService
$srmObject | Add-Member -Type NoteProperty -value $srmSvcContent -Name SRMContent

I have tried using Savon, soap4r, and handsoap and I don't know what I'm missing.
Here is the Savon code that doesn't work.
require 'savon'
require 'rubygems'
client = Savon.client do
wsdl "https://srm-vcenter-a:8095/srm?wsdl"
#endpoint "https://srm-vcenter-a:8095/srm-Service?wsdl"
endpoint "http://srm5-vcenter-a:9007"
namespace "https://srm-vcenter-a/sdk/srm"
#proxy "https://srm-vcenter-a:8095/srm-Service?wsdl"
ssl_version :TLSv1
ssl_verify_mode :none
convert_request_keys_to :lower_camelcase
end
message = { username: 'administrator', password: 'mypw' }
response = client.call(:srm_login_locale, message: message)
Thanks in advance for all help

Having taken a brief look at your code it appears that in PowerShell you have
$srm.SrmLoginLocale($srmSvcRef, $UserName, $Password, $null)
While in Ruby you have
message = { username: 'administrator', password: 'mypw' }
response = client.call(:srm_login_locale, message: message)
In the PowerShell code there are 4 values passed to the SrmLoginLocale method:
$srmSvcRef
$UserName
$Password
$null
In the ruby code you are missing the first parameter and the fourth parameter in your call. Try creating the equivalent of $srmSvcRef in ruby. I am not a ruby programmer but I think the code would look something like:
srm_svc_ref = { value: 'SrmServiceInstance', type: 'SrmServiceInstance'}
message = { _this: srm_svc_ref, username: 'administrator', password: 'mypw', locale: nil}
response = client.call(:srm_login_locale, message: message)
