IsCustomResponse is always returning false in Adapter-based authentication

I am following the tutorial on implementing Adapter-based authentication on https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-0/authentication-security/adapter-based-authentication/

isCustomReponse method is always returning false because "authRequired" is not in the response. Please help me if i am doing anything wrong.

Adapter Code

function onAuthRequired(headers, errorMessage){
    errorMessage = errorMessage ? errorMessage : null;

    return {
        authRequired: true,
        errorMessage: errorMessage
    };
}

function submitAuthentication(username, password){
  // if (username==="user" && password === "user"){

    var userIdentity = {
        userId: username,
        displayName: username,
        attributes: {
          foo: "bar"
        }
    };

    WL.Server.setActiveUser("SingleStepAuthRealm", userIdentity);

    return {
      authRequired: false
    };
  // }

  // return onAuthRequired(null, "Invalid login credentials");
}


function onLogout(){
    WL.Logger.debug("Logged out");
}

It is normal for the Challenge Handler to be called many times with authRequired not being set - these are just normal server responses when authentication is not required. That authRequired payload will only be present if you have triggered the authentication process by accessing a protected resource, which in turn will cause the security subsystem to invoke the adapter onAuthRequired method.

I suggest adding a trace statement to your onAuthRequired method, this will show you when that is happening.

As Nathan H has said the likeliest causes here is that you are not accessing a protected resource because you have not applied your security test to an adapter procedure or the application as a whole. In the example your are working from there is a getSecretData() procedure that is so protected.
