Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to perform user-related operations. Specifically, the "User Reset Recoverycodes" operation allows resetting the recovery codes for a user’s multi-factor authentication (MFA). This is useful in scenarios where a user has lost access to their existing recovery codes and needs new ones issued securely.

Practical examples include:

  • An administrator resetting MFA recovery codes for a user who cannot access their account due to lost or compromised recovery codes.
  • Automating security workflows that require periodic rotation of MFA recovery codes for compliance purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Multi Factor Code The MFA code used to authorize the reset request. It must be provided to validate the action.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after attempting to reset the user's recovery codes. This typically includes information about the success of the operation and may contain the new recovery codes or status messages.

If the API supports binary data output (e.g., downloadable recovery codes as a file), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is expected to be JSON only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de for all API calls.
  • The node depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package to build its properties and handle OpenAPI-based requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing Multi Factor Code: If the MFA code is incorrect or not provided, the API will reject the request. Ensure the correct MFA code is supplied.
  • Authentication errors: Failure to authenticate with the API usually indicates misconfigured or missing API credentials. Verify that the API key is correctly set up in n8n.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL settings can cause request failures. Confirm network access to https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API returns errors or unexpected data, check the API documentation for required parameters and ensure the node's input matches those requirements.
