Confirm Account Information

POST {{authPath}}/{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}}

In an authentication flow involving an external identity provider, users can be prompted to verify the account data returned by the provider. The POST /{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}} operation uses the application/vnd.pingidentity.user.confirm+json custom media type as the content type in the request header.

Prerequisites

The request body format is exactly the same as a PATCH {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/users/{{userID}} request. However, any user attributes included in the request that were not returned from the external identity provider are ignored. For more information, refer to Partial update.
