Reuse Task flows without Page fragment

Question

Hello,
I ve seen some examples with task flows being resued inside regions and using page fragments.
However , my requirement is little different and would like some inputs on this.
I have an authentication module to be used in different ADF applications.
I have a login page(not a page fragment) and a router and task flow return activity in the resuable bounded task flow.
We are having a managed bean to check authentication and we have a page flow scope variable which marks success or failure and hands it over to router which inturn routes to task flow return if successful, else routs it back to login page if failure.
When i use this BTF in a consuming task flow(BTF) and add the module as an ADF library, everything is fine except it is not lauching a welcome page upon success and just stays on the same login page.
I have the ADF security on with the redirect page given upon successful authentication as the welcome page.
The welcome page is in the consuming application and not part of the authentication module itself.
In the consuming task flow, i have a control case from the Authentication task flow call activity to the welcome page and the control case rightly given success as outcome automatically bcos of task flow return in the consumed task flow.
Any input to launch the welcome page upon successful authentication is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
you cannot authenticate users in a bounded task flow and expect to redirect you successfully. The redirect only happens if authentication is handled by the ADF Security authentication servlet redirecting the call. So your bounde task flow needs to return an outcome and your consuming application should have a wild card navigation case defined that then redirects to the welcome page
