AvantGuard - HuduInstall

Overview

This node allows you to update (replace) an existing Asset Password in the Hudu system by specifying its ID and providing new password data. It is useful for automating the management of sensitive credentials stored as asset passwords, ensuring they remain up-to-date and secure.

Common scenarios:

• Automatically updating passwords when rotating credentials.
• Integrating with other systems that manage or generate passwords.
• Ensuring compliance by programmatically updating asset passwords after audits.

Example:
You have a workflow that generates new strong passwords for your assets every 90 days. This node can be used to push those new passwords into Hudu, replacing the old ones.

Properties

Output

The output will contain the updated asset password record in JSON format, reflecting the changes made. The structure typically includes all fields of the asset password as returned by the Hudu API after the update.

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to a Hudu instance with API enabled.
• API Key/Credentials: Needs valid avantguardHuduApi credentials configured in n8n, including the base URL and authentication token.
• n8n Configuration: Ensure the credentials are set up under "avantguardHuduApi" in your n8n instance.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid ID Error: If the specified ID does not exist, the node may return a "Not Found" or similar error. Double-check the ID value.
• Authentication Errors: If credentials are missing or incorrect, you may see errors like "401 Unauthorized." Ensure your API key and base URL are correct.
• Malformed JSON: If the "Asset Password" field contains invalid JSON, the node will fail. Always provide properly formatted JSON.
