An API has been updated in Anypoint exchange by its API producer from version 3.1.1 to
3.2.0 following accepted semantic versioning practices and the changes have been
communicated via the APIs public portal. The API endpoint does NOT change in the new
version. How should the developer of an API client respond to this change?


A.

The API producer should be requested to run the old version in parallel with the new one


B.

The API producer should be contacted to understand the change to existing functionality


C.

The API client code only needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of the new features


D.

The API clients need to update the code on their side and need to do full regression





C.
  

The API client code only needs to be changed if it needs to take advantage of the new features



When should idempotency be taken into account?


A. When making requests to update currently locked entities


B. When storing the results of s previous request for use in response to subsequent requests


C. When sending concurrent update requests for the same entity


D. When preventing duplicate processing from multiple sent requests





D.
  When preventing duplicate processing from multiple sent requests

An organization has several APIs that accept JSON data over HTTP POST. The APIs are
all publicly available and are associated with several mobile applications and web
applications.
The organization does NOT want to use any authentication or compliance policies for these
APIs, but at the same time, is worried that some bad actor could send payloads that could
somehow compromise the applications or servers running the API implementations.
What out-of-the-box Anypoint Platform policy can address exposure to this threat?


A.

Shut out bad actors by using HTTPS mutual authentication for all API invocations


B.

Apply an IP blacklist policy to all APIs; the blacklist will Include all bad actors


C.

Apply a Header injection and removal policy that detects the malicious data before it is used


D.

Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors





D.
  

Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat
vectors
*****************************************
>> Usually, if the APIs are designed and developed for specific consumers (known
consumers/customers) then we would IP Whitelist the same to ensure that traffic only
comes from them.
>> However, as this scenario states that the APIs are publicly available and being used by
so many mobile and web applications, it is NOT possible to identify and blacklist all
possible bad actors.
>> So, JSON threat protection policy is the best chance to prevent any bad JSON payloads
from such bad actors.

The responses to some HTTP requests can be cached depending on the HTTP verb used
in the request. According to the HTTP specification, for what HTTP verbs is this safe to do?


A.

PUT, POST, DELETE


B.

GET, HEAD, POST


C.

GET, PUT, OPTIONS


D.

GET, OPTIONS, HEAD





D.
  

GET, OPTIONS, HEAD



4 Production environment is running on a dedicated Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on CloudHub 1,0, and the security team guidelines clearly state no traffic on HTTP. Which two options support these security guidelines?


A. Option A


B. Option B


C. Option C


D. Option D


E. Option E





A.
  Option A

C.
  Option C

What is a key requirement when using an external Identity Provider for Client Management in Anypoint Platform?


A.

Single sign-on is required to sign in to Anypoint Platform


B.

The application network must include System APIs that interact with the Identity
Provider


C.

To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs managed by Anypoint Platform, API clients must submit access tokens issued by that same Identity Provider


D.

APIs managed by Anypoint Platform must be protected by SAML 2.0 policies





C.
  

To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs managed by Anypoint Platform, API clients must submit access tokens issued by that same Identity Provider



Explanation: https://www.folkstalk.com/2019/11/mulesoft-integration-and-platform.html
Explanation
Correct Answer: To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs managed by Anypoint Platform, API
clients must submit access tokens issued by that same Identity Provider
*****************************************
>> It is NOT necessary that single sign-on is required to sign in to Anypoint Platform
because we are using an external Identity Provider for Client Management
>> It is NOT necessary that all APIs managed by Anypoint Platform must be protected by
SAML 2.0 policies because we are using an external Identity Provider for Client
Management
>> Not TRUE that the application network must include System APIs that interact with the
Identity Provider because we are using an external Identity Provider for Client Management
Only TRUE statement in the given options is - "To invoke OAuth 2.0-protected APIs
managed by Anypoint Platform, API clients must submit access tokens issued by that same
Identity Provider"

An Order API must be designed that contains significant amounts of integration logic and
involves the invocation of the Product API.
The power relationship between Order API and Product API is one of "Customer/Supplier",
because the Product API is used heavily throughout the organization and is developed by a
dedicated development team located in the office of the CTO.
What strategy should be used to deal with the API data model of the Product API within the
Order API?


A.

Convince the development team of the Product API to adopt the API data model of the Order API such that the integration logic of the Order API can work with one consistent internal data model


B.

Work with the API data types of the Product API directly when implementing the integration logic of the Order API such that the Order API uses the same (unchanged) data types as the Product API


C.

Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API


D.

Start an organization-wide data modeling initiative that will result in an Enterprise Data
Model that will then be used in both the Product API and the Order API





C.
  

Implement an anti-corruption layer in the Order API that transforms the Product API data
model into internal data types of the Order API



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Convince the development team of the product API to adopt the API data
model of the Order API such that integration logic of the Order API can work with one
consistent internal data model
*****************************************
Key details to note from the given scenario:
>> Power relationship between Order API and Product API is customer/supplier
So, as per below rules of "Power Relationships", the caller (in this case Order API) would
request for features to the called (Product API team) and the Product API team would need
to accomodate those requests.
