n8n-nodes-ome-auth

This is an n8n community node. It lets you use Dell OpenManage Enterprise (OME) authentication in your n8n workflows.

Dell OpenManage Enterprise is a centralized systems management solution that provides monitoring, configuration, and lifecycle management for Dell infrastructure via a REST API. This node creates an OME API session and returns an X-Auth-Token that can be used in subsequent API calls.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation

Follow the official installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Or install manually inside your n8n custom nodes directory:

npm install @arwinho/n8n-nodes-ome-auth

Restart n8n after installation.

Operations

OME Auth

Login

Creates an authenticated session with Dell OpenManage Enterprise using:

POST /api/SessionService/Sessions

The node:

  • Authenticates using stored credentials
  • Extracts the X-Auth-Token from the response
  • Returns the token for use in downstream nodes
  • Optionally skips SSL certificate validation (for self-signed or expired certificates)

Credentials

Create credentials of type:

Dell OpenManage Enterprise API

Prerequisites

  • A reachable Dell OpenManage Enterprise instance
  • API access enabled
  • A valid OME user account with permission to create API sessions

Credential fields

Field Description
Base URL Base URL of your OME instance (for example https://ome.example.local)
Username OME username
Password OME password
Allow Insecure TLS Disable SSL certificate validation (for self-signed or expired certificates)

TLS Behavior

If your OME appliance uses:

  • Self-signed certificates
  • Expired certificates
  • Internal CA certificates

Enable Allow Insecure TLS.

⚠️ Only enable this option in trusted environments. Disabling SSL validation reduces connection security.

Compatibility

  • Minimum n8n version: 1.0.0
  • Tested against: n8n v1.x and v2.x
  • Compatible with Dell OpenManage Enterprise REST API (SessionService endpoint)

If you experience TLS-related issues, ensure your OME certificate is valid or enable the "Allow Insecure TLS" option.

Usage

Step 1 — Add the OME Auth Node

Add OME Auth at the start of your workflow and configure it with your OME credentials.

Step 2 — Use the Token in HTTP Request Nodes

The node outputs an item similar to:

{
  "xAuthToken": "your-token",
  "headers": {
    "X-Auth-Token": "your-token"
  },
  "setCookie": []
}

In downstream HTTP Request nodes, add a header:

  • Name: X-Auth-Token
  • Value: {{$json.headers["X-Auth-Token"]}}

If referencing the auth node explicitly:

{{$node["OME Auth"].json.headers["X-Auth-Token"]}}

You can now call any OME API endpoint.

Example Workflow

OME Auth → HTTP Request (GET /api/DeviceService/Devices)

Header:

X-Auth-Token: {{$node["OME Auth"].json.headers["X-Auth-Token"]}}
