Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to manage domain SSL certificates. Specifically, the "Ssl Delete Certificate" operation allows users to delete an existing SSL certificate associated with a domain by specifying its unique certificate ID. This is useful for automating certificate lifecycle management, such as removing expired or replaced certificates without manual intervention.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically cleaning up old SSL certificates when deploying new ones.
  • Integrating SSL certificate management into broader domain or hosting automation workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Certificate Id The unique identifier of the SSL certificate to be deleted.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after attempting to delete the specified SSL certificate. This typically includes confirmation of deletion or error details if the operation failed.

No binary data output is involved in 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

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent certificate ID will result in an error response from the API.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the mittwald API.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors indicating "certificate not found" suggest the provided certificate ID does not exist or is incorrect.
    • Authentication errors imply issues with the API key or credential setup.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the certificate ID is correct and corresponds to an existing SSL certificate.
    • Ensure the API key credential is properly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings that might block API access.
