Thank you all for your advices.
I do not want to use FlashMessenger because I want to avoid creating
sessions for guests who didn't authenticated, for permance reasons.
I will opt for the easiest one, set the view variable in the AuthController.
I think the best solution is to pass the parameter to the IndexController
since it is not the role of the AuthController to render the view of the
IndexController, but the code gets dirty since those kind of operations
demand some if statements etc.
