AvantGuard - ConnectSecure

Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API to retrieve firewall user information. Specifically, the "Get Retrieve Firewall Users" operation fetches details about users configured in the firewall system. This is useful for network administrators or security teams who want to programmatically access and manage firewall user data within their automation workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically syncing firewall user lists with other systems.
  • Auditing firewall user configurations regularly.
  • Filtering and retrieving specific users based on query conditions.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The unique identifier of the user whose firewall information you want to retrieve.
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine the query:
- Condition: Filter condition string.
- Skip: Number of records to skip.
- Limit: Maximum number of records to return.
- Order By: Field(s) to order the results by.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the firewall users retrieved from the API. The structure typically includes user details such as user IDs, names, roles, and any other relevant firewall user attributes provided by the API response.

If binary data were involved (e.g., files or certificates), it would be indicated here, but this node focuses on JSON user data only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API.
  • Needs the base URL of the AvantGuard ConnectSecure service configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties and handling API communication.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: Since the user ID is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will cause the API call to fail. Ensure the user ID is correct and present.
  • API authentication errors: If the API key or base URL is misconfigured, authentication will fail. Verify credentials are correctly set up.
  • Query parameter issues: Invalid values in additional query parameters (e.g., non-numeric skip/limit) may cause errors. Validate input types before execution.
  • Network or connectivity problems: Ensure that the n8n instance can reach the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API endpoint.
