Overview

This node operation, Ssl Create Certificate Request under the Domain resource, is designed to create an SSL certificate request by sending the necessary certificate data to an external API. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically generate or upload SSL certificates for domains managed via the mittwald mStudio API. For example, this can be used to automate SSL certificate management workflows such as renewing certificates or provisioning new ones without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Certificate The SSL certificate content in string format that you want to submit for creation.
Private Key The private key corresponding to the SSL certificate, provided as a string.
Project Id The identifier of the project within which the SSL certificate request should be created.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after creating the SSL certificate request. This typically includes details about the newly created certificate request such as its ID, status, and any metadata returned by the API.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication 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 credential in n8n is necessary to authorize requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing certificate or private key strings may cause the API to reject the request.
    • Incorrect or missing project ID will result in failure to associate the certificate request with a project.
    • Authentication errors if the API key credential is not set up correctly or has expired.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to invalid input data usually indicate malformed certificate or key strings; verify their correctness.
    • Authorization errors suggest checking the API key credential setup.
    • Network or connectivity errors require ensuring that n8n can reach the https://api.mittwald.de endpoint.
