Question:
How do I set the connection preferences for the IAP to ensure I use my RConnection rather than a default one?

Answer:
The code fragment below shows how this is done.

//Connect to Socket server
User::LeaveIfError(iSockServ.Connect());

//Define preferences for connection
TCommDbConnPref prefs;
prefs.SetIapId(1);
prefs.SetDialogPreference(ECommDbDialogPrefDoNotPrompt);

//Start Connection
User::LeaveIfError(iConnection.Open(iSockServ));
User::LeaveIfError(iConnection.Start(prefs));

//Set properties for session
RStringPool strP = iSession.StringPool();
RHTTPConnectionInfo connInfo = iSession.ConnectionInfo();
connInfo.SetPropertyL ( strP.StringF(HTTP::EHttpSocketServ, RHTTPSession::GetTable() ), THTTPHdrVal (iSockServ.Handle()) );
TInt connPtr = REINTERPRET_CAST(TInt, &iConnection);
connInfo.SetPropertyL ( strP.StringF(HTTP::EHttpSocketConnection, RHTTPSession::GetTable() ), THTTPHdrVal (connPtr) );
