Overview

This node allows you to interact with the Kobana API, specifically to update certificates under the Admin resource. The "Update" operation for the "Admin > Certificates" resource enables modifying existing certificate records by specifying their ID and providing updated data in JSON format.

Common scenarios include:

  • Updating certificate details such as expiration dates, status, or metadata.
  • Automating certificate management workflows where certificates need periodic updates.
  • Integrating certificate updates into larger automation processes involving other Kobana resources.

Example: You have a certificate with a known ID that requires updating its attributes (e.g., renewal date). Using this node, you provide the certificate ID and a JSON body with the new values to update it seamlessly via the Kobana API.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the certificate resource to update.
Additional Fields Optional JSON object containing extra fields to include in the request for flexibility.
Request Body Required JSON object representing the updated certificate data to send in the API request.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Kobana API after performing the update operation on the certificate. This typically includes the updated certificate details reflecting the changes made.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for update operations), it would represent file contents related to certificates, but this node primarily handles JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Kobana API credential configured in n8n with appropriate permissions.
  • The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on whether the environment is production or sandbox.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Kobana API and its authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid ID error: If the provided certificate ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the ID correctness.
  • Malformed JSON in Request Body: Ensure the JSON provided in the "Request Body" field is valid and matches the expected schema for certificate updates.
  • Authentication errors: Confirm that the Kobana API credentials are correctly set up and have permission to update certificates.
  • API environment mismatch: Make sure the environment setting in credentials matches the intended API endpoint (production vs sandbox).
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to the Kobana API endpoints if requests time out or fail.
