ERR-Auth/External- No conversation state found in session

[Surinaidu Majji]

Yes, Earlier we were not aware of significance of 'conversation' . Also the
'key' returned by 'startexternalAuthentication' API was empty, and
conversation state was not preserved between 'startexternalAuthentication'
and 'finishExternalAuthentication' as mentioned in the wiki doc , this was
creating problem , *now it got rectified .*

Pseudo code :
*before login*
key =ExternalAuthentication.startexternalAuthentication(request);
preserveKey();
*after successful login *
ExternalAuthentication.finishexternalAuthentication(key,request,response);

Please let us know in case of any gaps in our understanding(s)
