AjaxInstall

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It supports multiple resources and operations, including the "Hub" resource with an operation to execute a command that sets the password length on a hub device. This functionality is useful for managing security settings remotely on Ajax hubs, such as enforcing password policies by specifying fixed or flexible password lengths.

Practical examples include:

• Setting a fixed password length (e.g., 4, 5, or 6 characters) on a specific hub to comply with organizational security standards.
• Allowing flexible password lengths by setting the length to 0, which might be used in less restrictive environments.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the executed command on the Ajax hub. The exact structure depends on the Ajax API response but typically includes confirmation of the command execution status, any error messages if applicable, and possibly updated hub configuration details.

If the node handles binary data, it would relate to any files or media returned by the Ajax API, but based on the provided code and properties, this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
• Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for operation resolution and execution logic.
• Uses internal backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation definitions.
• The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Incorrect companyId or hubId values may lead to "not found" errors or failed command execution.
  • Providing an unsupported password length value (other than 0, 4, 5, or 6) could result in validation errors from the API.

• Error Messages:

  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
  • Validation errors: Ensure that all required parameters (companyId, hubId, passwordLength) are provided and valid.
  • Network or timeout errors: Check network connectivity and API availability.
