Overview

This node interacts with an Active Directory service via the Connect Secure API to retrieve basic information about Active Directory entries. It is useful for scenarios where you need to query and fetch user or device data stored in an Active Directory environment, such as synchronizing user details, auditing directory contents, or integrating AD data into workflows.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Retrieve a list of users matching certain criteria.
  • Fetch detailed information about specific Active Directory objects.
  • Paginate through large sets of directory entries using skip and limit parameters.

Properties

Name Meaning
Company Id The identifier of the company whose Active Directory data you want to query.
Source The source system or domain within Active Directory to query against.
X USER ID The user ID header value used for authentication or identification in the request.
Condition A query condition string to filter the Active Directory entries returned.
Skip Number of records to skip, useful for pagination.
Limit Maximum number of records to return.
Order By Field(s) by which to order the results.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved Active Directory basic information. Each item corresponds to an AD entry matching the query conditions. The structure typically includes user or object attributes as returned by the API.

If binary data were involved (e.g., photos or certificates), it would be included in a binary field, but this node focuses on JSON data output.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • Needs network access to the Connect Secure API endpoint.
  • The node depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package and the OpenAPI specification bundled internally.
  • Proper configuration of credentials and permissions to query Active Directory data via the API is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key or authentication token is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Empty results: Verify that the company_id, source, and condition parameters are correct and match existing data.
  • Pagination issues: If not all expected records are returned, check the skip and limit values.
  • Invalid query conditions: Malformed or unsupported query strings in condition may cause errors; validate syntax according to the API documentation.
  • Network errors: Confirm connectivity to the API endpoint and that no firewall or proxy blocks requests.
