Connect Secure

Consume Connect Secure API

Actions222

Overview

This node interacts with the "External Scan" resource of the Connect Secure API, specifically to delete a custom profile. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove user-specific profiles or configurations from an external scanning service. For example, if a user’s profile is no longer needed or must be revoked for security reasons, this node can automate that deletion process.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The User Id header value required by the API to identify the user making the request.
Id The numeric identifier of the custom profile to be deleted.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the API after attempting to delete the custom profile. This typically includes confirmation of deletion or error details if the operation failed. There is no indication that binary data is returned.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the Connect Secure API being accessible and properly configured.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The API requires the X USER ID header; ensure it is provided and correct.
  • Invalid or non-existent profile Id: If the id does not correspond to an existing custom profile, the API may return an error indicating the profile was not found.
  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems with the Connect Secure API endpoint will cause failures.
  • Check the API response message for specific error codes or messages to guide resolution.

Links and References

  • Refer to the Connect Secure API documentation for detailed information on the "Delete Custom Profile" endpoint and required headers.
  • n8n documentation on creating and using API credentials for authentication.
