# Required Attributes Present node

The Required Attributes Present node checks whether all attributes required to create an identity resource exist in the shared node state.

The default identity resource is `managed/user`.

## Example

The following example shows a login flow that first attempts local authentication and then passes the credentials through to the third-party service if local authentication fails. After successful pass-through authentication, the flow verifies that the user's profile contains the required attributes and stores the password in the local profile.

Before trying this example, synchronize accounts from the third-party service.

![Passthrough Authentication that updates user credentials](_images/trees-node-passthrough-authentication-example-platform.png)

* The [Page node](page.html) containing the [Platform Username node](platform-username.html) and [Platform Password node](platform-password.html) prompts for credentials.

* The [Data Store Decision node](data-store-decision.html) validates the username-password credentials.

* If local authentication succeeds, the [Increment Login Count node](increment-login-count.html) increments the login count and the journey continues to an inner tree evaluator.

* If local authentication fails, the [Passthrough Authentication node](passthrough-authentication.html) authenticates the credentials against the third-party service.

* If third-party authentication succeeds, the [Identify Existing User node](identify-existing-user.html) checks for a matching user profile.

* The [Required Attributes Present node](required-attributes-present.html) checks whether the user profile contains the required attributes.

* The [Patch Object node](patch-object.html) updates the user profile with the successful password.

## Inputs

The node reads the attributes required by the configured identity resource from shared state. The required attributes depend on the identity resource schema.

## Dependencies

This node depends on PingIDM to store the identity.

## Configuration

| Identity Resource | The type of managed identity resource object this node creates. It must match the identity resource type for the current flow.

To check for the available managed identity resource types, go to the IDM admin UI, and open the Manage drop-down list in the upper right corner of the screen.

Identity managed object types are preceded by the icon. |

## Outputs

This node doesn't change the shared state.

## Callbacks

This node doesn't send any callbacks.

## Outcomes

* `True`

  The shared state contains all the attributes required to create an identity resource.

* `False`

  The shared state doesn't contain all the attributes required to create an identity resource.

## Errors

The node can log the following:

* Warnings

  * `Failed to retrieve schema`

    The node couldn't retrieve the identity resource schema.

* Errors

  * `Configured object type for the node identity resource does not match the configured object type for the tree identity resource`

    The configured identity resource doesn't match the identity resource configured for the current journey.
