Companies House input XML returns Authorisation Failure for SchemaStatus requests

Incorporation
1

Hello all,

We have test account has been actuated, with the following details (I omitted some symbols with * in secure reason) :

Presenter ID: 666*****
Presenter Authentication Value: R4R******
Test Package Number: 0012
Email address roman.bihun@******.com

When I use
https://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk/v1-0/xmlgw/Gateway
for post submission to provided endpoints from SchemaStatus I get Authorisation Failure Error.

For example POST request to /Gateway with XML body below:

<GovTalkMessage xmlns="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope" xmlns:dsig="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:gt="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/schemas/govtalk/core" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/CM/envelope http://xmlgw.companieshouse.gov.uk/v2-1/schema/Egov_ch-v2-0.xsd">

Anybody can help me please?
Maybe the issue in my requested method or incorrect body XML?

Can you please post your FULL XML submission and response test data to snicholas@companieshouse.gov.uk - I can see a few issues with the above, but need to see the full data.

Your SenderID needs to be supplied in MD5# format.
