Overview

This node operation allows users to post (create) asset passwords by sending JSON data representing the password details. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically add or update passwords associated with assets in an external system, such as managing credentials for devices, software licenses, or secure resources.

A practical example would be automating the process of storing new asset passwords when onboarding new hardware or software assets into an inventory management system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Body Fields Optional fields to include in the request body. Specifically, it supports adding an "Asset Password" as a JSON object. This allows flexible extension of the payload with custom password details.

The "Asset Password" field expects a JSON string that will be parsed and sent as part of the request body under the key asset_password.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the API after posting the asset password. The exact structure depends on the external service's API response but typically includes confirmation of the created password record or error details if the operation failed.

There is no indication that this node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • The base URL for the API is configured via credentials.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package internally to build properties and handle requests based on an OpenAPI specification.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Asset Password: If the JSON provided in the "Asset Password" field is malformed, the node will fail to parse it. Ensure the JSON string is valid.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key or token is correctly set up in the node credentials.
  • API Endpoint Issues: Incorrect base URL or network issues can prevent successful requests. Confirm the base URL and network connectivity.
  • Missing Required Fields: If the external API requires certain fields within the asset password JSON, omitting them may cause errors. Check the API documentation for required fields.
