Overview

This node is designed to interact with an authentication service to retrieve a QR code associated with a specified session. It is useful in scenarios where a user needs to authenticate or link a session via a QR code, such as in two-factor authentication setups or session validation processes. For example, it can be used to generate a QR code image or raw data that can be scanned or processed by an authentication app or system.

Use Case Examples

  1. Generating a QR code image for a user session to enable login via scanning.
  2. Retrieving raw QR code data for custom processing or display in a user interface.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The name of the session for which the QR code is requested. This is a required string input that identifies the session context.
Format The format in which the QR code should be returned. Options include 'Image' for a visual QR code image or 'Raw' for raw QR code data.
Request Options Additional request configuration options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout. These options control how the request to get the QR code is made and handled.

Output

JSON

  • qrCode - The QR code data returned by the node, either as an image or raw data depending on the selected format.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or authentication token to access the authentication service.

Troubleshooting

  • If the session name is incorrect or missing, the node will fail to retrieve the QR code. Ensure the session name is valid and provided.
  • If the request times out, consider increasing the timeout setting or checking network connectivity.
  • SSL certificate validation errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this should be used with caution due to security risks.
  • Proxy settings must be correctly configured if a proxy is required for network access.
