The script is not going in function end_block(). I am not able to understand why it is happening. here is the sample data-

INFO:Entering QnAModule::authenticate
userName :[prasanna]
Set of questions(bitmap) selected : 13
QNA Step.*AUTH IN PROGRESS
ArAuthFrameworkImpl::doPostAuth.*Authentication mechanism returned [he
+llo] for AuthIdentity [prasanna]
Prepared to Send OK 
Sending Invalid credential

Thanks NT
