Hi, we are doing some poc on n8n and encountered below issue!
I am trying to login to our web portal and keep the session alive for subsequent steps, basically to filter the items and select from those items and modify the items in subsequent nodes. Although the login is successful getting this (body
exception
MissingPropertyException
msg
No such property: passwordResetRequired for class: org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User
success
false) and
getting the cookies and jsessionID
When I try to use the cookies in the filtering node, says authorization failed, I dont need all the cookies, just the JSESSIONID is also fine. When I use the JSESSIONID from postman the node executes successfully in n8n. Please help what I am missing here. This is a crucial step for to overcome in order to do anything in n8n. We are also planning to get enterprise level subscription.
Hi, I might not fully understand the core issue. But if it works in Postman, you can try using the cURL code from there and import it into the HTTP Request node in n8n. That usually works
looks like it is a login issue, the cURL in postman is responding differently to the cURL in n8n, that is why the subsequent steps are failing, I have my cURL in postman, where the data is passing the username and password, I used the same form data and aslo form urlencode, both doesn’t work. I get this response:
[
{
“body”:
{
“success”:
false,
“errors”:
“”
},
“headers”:
{
“date”:
“Fri, 05 Dec 2025 17:57:27 GMT”,
“content-type”:
“application/json;charset=UTF-8”,
“transfer-encoding”:
“chunked”,
“connection”:
“close”,
“set-cookie”:
[
“AWSALBCORS=xxxxxxxx; Expires=Fri, 12 Dec 2025 17:57:27 GMT; Path=/; SameSite=None; Secure”,
“JSESSIONID=75xxxxxxxx; Path=/; HttpOnly”
],
“server”:
“nginx/1.20.1”,
“vary”:
“origin,access-control-request-method,access-control-request-headers,accept-encoding”,
“expires”:
“-1”,
“content-security-policy”:
“upgrade-insecure-requests”
},
“statusCode”:
200,
“statusMessage”:
“”
}
]
Just need to login properly, I guess that will fix the issue, need to know how to login, anyone thoughts?
Hey @Sai_Meister !
I see that there is a 200 response, it means that your server responded ,but with false.
I think you have to add option “Response”(Include Response Headers and Status) in the HTTP node , so you can access the JSESSION.
If you share your raw Postman curl, maybe we can help to configure the n8n HTTP node, since as you can see it may behave different, depending on the endpoint.
I identified the issue! It is happening at login, the login via the postman gives a different output and the login via n8n is coming as false. My curl format is as below, masked all the proprietary information. I need an exact curl in n8n as well:
curl --location ‘https://example-domain.com/login/auth’
–header ‘accept: /’
–header ‘content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8’
–header ‘origin: https://example-domain.com’
–header ‘referer: https://example-domain.com/lp/’
–header ‘x-requested-with: XMLHttpRequest’
–header ‘Cookie: AWSALB=COOKIE_VALUE_1; AWSALBCORS=COOKIE_VALUE_1; AWSALBTG=COOKIE_VALUE_2; AWSALBTGCORS=COOKIE_VALUE_2; JSESSIONID=SESSION_ID_VALUE’
–data ‘userName=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD’
expected output:
{
“success”: true,
“fullName”: “Example User Name”,
“userType”: “Admin Super”,
“userId”: “example_username”,
“sysUserId”: 12345,
“permissions”: [
// … (all permissions remain unchanged)
],
“authorities”: [
“ADMINS”
],
“pwdMsg”: “”,
“gotoPwdScreenYn”: false
}
I don t know how Postman handles the cookies, but n8n handles them as you set them…
The “exact” curl into HTTP node (the variant you shared users different format – instead - - etc…)
Or body with FormEncoded Url:
P.S !
You have to tweak with the Response and the Redirects to see Status code andd Response headers… and better create Custom Auth credentials
Cheers!
Sorry! I am new here, is it possible to connect over a zoom meeting? Are you from the official n8n support? @Parintele_Damaskin
NO !
Official staff have a badge with their logo, and you can find them in the groups they belong if you click on an account details.
Personally, I am on and off and can t guarantee a fixed hour, unless we can set one, or you could even post as a job category… I offered alreadywhat i coukd do.
