Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node operation allows users to replace an existing SSL certificate for a domain managed via the mittwald mStudio API. It is useful when you need to update or renew the SSL certificate associated with a domain to maintain secure HTTPS connections. Typical scenarios include automating certificate renewal processes, updating certificates after expiration, or switching to a new certificate provider.

Properties

Name Meaning
Certificate Id The unique identifier of the SSL certificate that you want to replace.
Certificate The new SSL certificate content (usually in PEM format) to be uploaded and set.
Private Key The private key corresponding to the new SSL certificate, required for the replacement.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after attempting to replace the SSL certificate. This typically includes confirmation details about the updated certificate or error information if the operation failed.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

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-formatted requests and responses.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Certificate Id: If the provided certificate ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the certificate was not found. Verify the certificate ID before running the node.
  • Malformed Certificate or Private Key: Ensure that the certificate and private key are correctly formatted (typically PEM format). Improper formatting can cause the API to reject the request.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Confirm that the API key is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • API Rate Limits or Downtime: Temporary failures might occur due to API rate limits or service outages. Retrying after some time or checking the API status may resolve these issues.
