Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Overview

This node operation retrieves the password policy details for a specified password policy name within the "User" resource. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically fetch and validate password policies configured in an external system, such as enforcing password complexity rules or compliance requirements.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching the current password policy before creating or updating user accounts.
  • Validating user passwords against the retrieved policy in custom workflows.
  • Auditing or reporting on password policies in use.

Properties

Name Meaning
Password Policy The name of the password policy to be retrieved.

Output

The output will contain JSON data representing the details of the requested password policy. This typically includes the rules and constraints defined by that policy, such as minimum length, required character types, expiration settings, and other password validation criteria.

No binary data output is expected from 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 to make requests.
  • The node depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package for OpenAPI-based request handling.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials can cause authentication failures.
    • Providing a non-existent or misspelled password policy name will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired API tokens; verify and update credentials.
    • "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the specified password policy does not exist; double-check the policy name.
    • Timeout or connection errors require checking network access and API availability.
