Ikoula API MicrosoftInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Ikoula Microsoft 365 API to manage Microsoft 365 user accounts and related resources. Specifically, the "Reset User Password" operation allows resetting a user's temporary password within a given Microsoft subscription.

Typical use cases include:

• Automating password resets for users in Microsoft 365 environments.
• Integrating password management into broader workflows such as onboarding or security compliance.
• Quickly recovering access for users who have forgotten their passwords without manual intervention.

For example, an IT administrator could use this node to reset a user's password automatically when triggered by a helpdesk ticket system.

Properties

Output

The node outputs the API response in the specified format (json or xml). When JSON is selected, the output is parsed into a JavaScript object under the json field. This typically contains details about the password reset operation result, such as success confirmation or error messages.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (in JSON mode):

{
  "json": {
    // API response fields indicating password reset status
  }
}

Dependencies

• Requires valid credentials for the Ikoula API, including email, password, and API URL.
• The password is encrypted using RSA public key encryption before being sent.
• The node makes HTTP requests to the Ikoula API endpoints.
• No additional external dependencies beyond standard n8n helpers and Node.js crypto module.

Troubleshooting

• No credentials provided!
  Error thrown if the required API credentials are missing. Ensure that the node has been configured with valid Ikoula API credentials.

• Invalid Subscription ID or User ID
  If these IDs are incorrect or do not exist, the API will likely return an error. Verify the IDs before running the node.

• API Response Errors
  Errors from the API (e.g., network issues, permission denied) will be surfaced in the node's output. Use the error message to diagnose issues such as invalid credentials or insufficient permissions.

• Response Format Issues
  Selecting XML format returns raw XML strings; ensure downstream nodes can handle XML if chosen.
