Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to manage database users. Specifically, the "Database Disable Mysql User" operation disables a MySQL user by its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you want to revoke access for a specific MySQL user without deleting the user entirely, such as temporarily suspending access during maintenance or security reviews.

Practical examples include:

  • Disabling a MySQL user account that is no longer needed or suspected of being compromised.
  • Temporarily disabling user access during system upgrades or migrations.
  • Automating user lifecycle management in a database environment integrated with n8n workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mysql User Id ID of the MySQL user to disable. This is a required string input specifying which MySQL user account will be disabled.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after attempting to disable the specified MySQL user. The structure typically includes confirmation of the action or details about the disabled user. No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de and expects JSON content-type headers.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing MySQL User ID: Ensure the provided ID corresponds to an existing MySQL user.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API availability issues: Confirm connectivity to the mittwald API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate problems with API credentials.
    • 404 errors may mean the specified MySQL user ID does not exist.
    • 400 errors could result from malformed requests or missing required parameters.

Resolving these typically involves checking input values, verifying credentials, and ensuring the API service is operational.
