Installation

Option 1: Install via n8n Community Nodes (recommended)

1. In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community Nodes
2. Click Install
3. Enter the package name:

   @edilabs/n8n-nodes-axway-securetransport-user

4. Agree to the risks and click Install

Option 2: Manual installation

cd ~/.n8n/nodes
npm install @edilabs/n8n-nodes-axway-securetransport-user

Restart n8n after installation.

Option 3: Docker

Add to your docker-compose.yml:

services:
  n8n:
    image: n8nio/n8n
    environment:
      - N8N_COMMUNITY_PACKAGES_ENABLED=true
    volumes:
      - ~/.n8n:/home/node/.n8n

Then install inside the container:

docker exec -it <n8n-container> sh
cd /home/node/.n8n/nodes
npm install @edilabs/n8n-nodes-axway-securetransport-user

Credentials

Create a credential of type Axway SecureTransport User API with:

| Field | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | Host | Hostname or IP of the SecureTransport server | mft.example.com | | Port | HTTPS port for the End-User API | 443 | | Username | End-user account login | john.doe | | Password | End-user account password | •••••••• | | Ignore SSL Issues | Accept self-signed certificates | true |

The credential supports Test Connection directly in the n8n UI to validate configuration.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Upload a file after receiving it

[HTTP Webhook] → [Read Binary File] → [Axway SecureTransport User: Upload]
