Yes, I've got it to work. For IC 5.2 (perhaps 5.0 also), in your catalog 
configuration you must have

SOAP_Control  Tag/userdb local

(the values of this directive can be local, always, never).

However, it appears to me that there is a bug in Vend/SOAP.pm where 
there is a loop of the form

for $subref ($Global::SOAP_Control,     $Vend::Cfg->{SOAP_Control}) {

with the intention to give global control configurations precedence over 
local ones. But that doesn't
seem to work. So replace this statement by

for $subref ( $Vend::Cfg->{SOAP_Control}) {

and it'll work. Hope that helps.
