I see the following function defined:

There are 2 ways in which the client can contact the authorization
server - one is directly and one is through the gatekeeper
In the code that deals with sending request through gatekeeper ,
activate() method is being invoked
However, the code which contacts the saz server directly is not
calling this method...
This code has been developed/managed by couple of people before me,
so I am not sure why call to activate() has not been put in for this
use case...is it mandatory?

In general, if your code uses functions in a module, it must enable
that module. It will help with the debugging output at least.
