Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve the local administrator password for a specific device or entity identified by a GUID. It is useful in scenarios where automated retrieval of sensitive credentials is required, such as in IT asset management, security audits, or automated system provisioning workflows.

For example, an IT administrator could use this node within an n8n workflow to automatically fetch and securely handle local admin passwords for devices registered in their system, enabling seamless integration with other automation tasks like remote configuration or compliance checks.

Properties

Name Meaning
Guid The unique identifier (GUID) of the device or entity for which to retrieve the password.
Tenantfilter A filter string specifying the tenant context or scope under which to perform the query.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the retrieved local administrator password information associated with the specified GUID and tenant filter. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as the password itself, expiration details, and related metadata.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • The base URL for the API is configured via node credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties from the OpenAPI specification.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid GUID: Ensure the GUID property is correctly set and corresponds to a valid device/entity in the system.
  • Tenant filter issues: Verify that the tenant filter string matches an existing tenant context; otherwise, the API may return no results or errors.
  • Authentication failures: Confirm that the API key credential is properly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API errors: Check connectivity to the configured API endpoint and ensure the service is operational.

Common error messages will likely relate to authorization failures, invalid parameters, or resource not found. Resolving these involves verifying input values and credential configurations.
