Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node operation retrieves details of a specific SSH SFTP user by their unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and display information about an existing SSH user, for example, to verify user details, audit access, or integrate user data into workflows that manage server access.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating the retrieval of SSH user details before performing further actions like updating permissions.
  • Integrating with systems that require verification of SSH user existence and attributes.
  • Auditing SSH users as part of security compliance workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ssh User Id The unique identifier of the SSH user to retrieve. This is a required string input specifying which SSH user's details should be fetched.

Output

The output will contain a JSON object representing the retrieved SSH user’s details. This typically includes fields such as the user's ID, username, associated permissions, creation date, and other relevant metadata provided by the API.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing SSH User Id: Ensure the SSH User Id property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing user.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API availability issues: Check connectivity to the mittwald API endpoint.

  • Error messages:

    • "User not found" or similar indicates the specified SSH User Id does not exist; double-check the ID.
    • Authentication failures suggest problems with the API key; reconfigure or regenerate the credential.
    • Timeout or connection errors may require retrying or checking network settings.
