Hi all! We want to create a workflow that automatically creates Mattermost groups to host virtual coffee breaks. We are following this guide: How to host virtual coffee breaks with n8n ☕️ – n8n Blog
We are behind a company firewall, and we have our own self-signed certificates.
Our main issue is that we cannot make the Mattermost node connect to our own on-premise Mattermost instance. The error that we get when the node is executed is :
HTTP Code
SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN
Stack:
NodeApiError: UNKNOWN ERROR - check the detailed error for more information at Object.httpRequestWithAuthentication (C:\Users\Mustermann\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-core\src\NodeExecuteFunctions.ts:1390:9) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at Object.post (C:\Users\Mustermann\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-nodes-base\nodes\Mattermost\v1\actions\message\post\execute.ts:85:23) at Object.router (C:\Users\MustermannAppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-nodes-base\nodes\Mattermost\v1\actions\router.ts:34:20) at Workflow.runNode (C:\Users\Mustermann\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-workflow\src\Workflow.ts:1270:19) at C:\Users\Mustermann\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-core\src\WorkflowExecute.ts:949:29
We tried to see whether there is an option in the Mattermost node to turn off SSL encryption, but we couldn’t find it. We also tested working directly with HTTP Request node, trying to GET our Mattermost instance, with honestly puzzling results. Namely, if we set up the HTTP Request node with all the necessary details, choose OAuth2 API as the authentication type, go to the Credential for OAuth2 API enter our secrets, and finally click on Connect my account, we do manage to connect to our Mattermost successfully.
Then we want to exit this credentials window, and get the message “Close without connecting? You need to connect your credential for it to work”.
Finally, if we try to execute the HTTP Request node itself, the process fails with the following error:
HTTP Code: rejected
Cause:
{
“status”:“rejected”,
“reason”:{
}
}
Stack:
NodeApiError: UNKNOWN ERROR - check the detailed error for more information at Object.execute (C:\Users\Mustermann\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-nodes-base\nodes\HttpRequest\V3\HttpRequestV3.node.ts:1312:12) at Workflow.runNode (C:\Users\Mustermann\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-workflow\src\Workflow.ts:1270:19) at C:\Users\Mustermann\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\n8n\node_modules\n8n-core\src\WorkflowExecute.ts:949:29
Do you maybe know what is the source of these issues, and how can we connect to Mattermost?
