Overview

This node operation, "Servicetoken Authenticate Service" under the "Misc" resource, is designed to authenticate a service using an access key ID and a secret access key. It is typically used in scenarios where secure API access or service authentication is required by providing these credentials. For example, it can be used to obtain a token or validate credentials before making further API calls to a protected service.

Properties

Name Meaning
Access Key Id The identifier for the access key used to authenticate the service. This is a required string input.
Secret Access Key The secret key paired with the access key ID, used for authentication. This is a required string input sent securely in the request body.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the authentication process. This typically includes tokens or confirmation of successful authentication. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential (access key ID and secret access key) to authenticate.
  • The node likely depends on an external API endpoint to perform the authentication, though the exact URL or service is not specified in the provided code snippet.
  • No additional environment variables or n8n configurations are explicitly mentioned.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Missing or incorrect access key ID or secret access key will cause authentication failure.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the authentication service.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid credentials; verify the keys are correct.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues or incorrect endpoint configuration.
  • Resolution:
    • Double-check the access key ID and secret access key values.
    • Ensure the node has internet access and the target API endpoint is reachable.
    • Confirm any required API permissions or roles are correctly assigned to the keys.

Links and References

No direct links or references are provided in the source code. For more information, consult the documentation of the service requiring the access key ID and secret access key for authentication.
