mittwald

Overview

This node operation updates the password of a specific MySQL user in a database managed through an API. It is useful when you need to programmatically change or reset the password for a MySQL user account, for example, during automated maintenance, security updates, or user management workflows.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically rotating database user passwords on a schedule.
• Resetting a user's password after a security incident.
• Integrating with user provisioning systems to update credentials dynamically.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the password update operation. This typically includes confirmation of success or details about the updated user. No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the mittwald mStudio API.
• The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid User ID: If the provided MySQL User Id does not exist, the API may return an error indicating the user was not found. Verify the user ID before running the node.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to update MySQL user passwords.
• Password Policy Violations: The API might reject passwords that do not meet complexity or length requirements. Check the API documentation for password rules.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the API endpoint can cause failures. Confirm network access and proxy settings if applicable.
