Step 15: Submit login credentials
POST {{authPath}}/{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}}
To respond to the USERNAME_PASSWORD_REQUIRED flow state, the user initiates the usernamePassword.check action. The flow service calls the POST /{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}} endpoint operation and uses the application/vnd.pingidentity.usernamePassword.check+json custom media type in the Content-type HTTP request header to identify the action.
The request body requires the username and password properties, which specify the user’s login credentials. In this workflow, if the usernamePassword.check action completes successfully, the flow proceeds to the next sign-on policy action. The flow status value of PROFILE_DATA_REQUIRED requires the progressive profiling action.
The response includes a link for the user.update action as an option for this flow. This option is available because the sign-on policy includes the PROGRESSIVE_PROFILING policy action to prompt the user for additional information.
