Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). Specifically, for the User resource and the operation Request To Change User's Passwords Hash, it facilitates requesting a change to a user's password hash. This operation likely involves validating the user’s identity via phone validation methods (CALL or SMS) before updating the password hash.

Common scenarios where this node would be beneficial include:

  • Automating password reset workflows where a system needs to securely update a user's password hash.
  • Integrating Ajax security management features into broader automation pipelines.
  • Enforcing multi-factor verification by requiring phone validation before changing sensitive credentials.

Practical example:

  • An admin triggers a workflow to reset a user's password. The node sends a request to Ajax API to initiate the password hash change, specifying the user ID, new password hash, and preferred phone validation method (CALL or SMS).

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user whose password hash is to be changed.
Password Hash The current password hash of the user, used for verification or as part of the request.
Phone Validation Type The method to validate the user's phone number before changing the password hash. Options: CALL, SMS.
New Password Hash The new password hash that will replace the existing one upon successful validation.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Ajax API after attempting to request the password hash change. This typically includes status information about the request, such as success confirmation or error details.

If the node supports binary data output, it is not evident from the provided code snippet and properties related to this operation; thus, the output is primarily JSON-based.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials can cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect user IDs or password hashes may result in errors from the Ajax API.
    • Choosing an unsupported phone validation type or omitting required fields will likely cause the node to fail.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
    • Validation errors: Verify that all required properties (userId, passwordHash, phoneValidationType, newPasswordHash) are provided and valid.
    • Network or timeout errors: Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
