An API is protected with a Client ID Enforcement policy and uses the default configuration. Access is requested for the client application to the API, and an approved contract now exists between the client application and the API. How can a consumer of this API avoid a 401 error "Unauthorized or invalid client application credentials"?


A. Send the obtained token as a header in every call


B. Send the obtained: client_id and client_secret in the request body


C. Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call


D. Send the obtained clent_id and client_secret in the header of every API Request call





C.
  Send the obtained clent_id and clent_secret as URI parameters in every call

Explanation:
When using the Client ID Enforcement policy with default settings, MuleSoft expects the client_id and client_secret to be provided in the URI parameters of each request. This policy is typically used to control and monitor access by validating that each request has valid credentials. Here’s how to avoid a 401 Unauthorized error:

What do the API invocation metrics provided by Anypoint Platform provide?


A.

ROI metrics from APIs that can be directly shared with business users


B.

Measurements of the effectiveness of the application network based on the level of reuse


C.

Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs


D.

Proactive identification of likely future policy violations that exceed a given threat
threshold





C.
  

Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Data on past API invocations to help identify anomalies and usage
patterns across various APIs
*****************************************
API Invocation metrics provided by Anypoint Platform:
>> Does NOT provide any Return Of Investment (ROI) related information. So the option
suggesting it is OUT.
>> Does NOT provide any information w.r.t how APIs are reused, whether there is effective
usage of APIs or not etc...
>> Does NOT prodive any prediction information as such to help us proactively identify any
future policy violations.
So, the kind of data/information we can get from such metrics is on past API invocations to
help identify anomalies and usage patterns across various APIs.

An API implementation is deployed on a single worker on CloudHub and invoked by
external API clients (outside of CloudHub). How can an alert be set up that is guaranteed to
trigger AS SOON AS that API implementation stops responding to API invocations?


A.

Implement a heartbeat/health check within the API and invoke it from outside the Anypoint Platform and alert when the heartbeat does not respond


B.

Configure a "worker not responding" alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager 


C.

Handle API invocation exceptions within the calling API client and raise an alert from that API client when the API Is unavailable


D.

Create an alert for when the API receives no requests within a specified time period





B.
  

Configure a "worker not responding" alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager 



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: Configure a “Worker not responding” alert in Anypoint Runtime Manager.
*****************************************
>> All the options eventually helps to generate the alert required when the application stops
responding.
>> However, handling exceptions within calling API and then raising alert from API client is
inappropriate and silly. There could be many API clients invoking the API implementation
and it is not ideal to have this setup consistently in all of them. Not a realistic way to do.
>> Implementing a health check/ heartbeat with in the API and calling from outside to
detmine the health sounds OK but needs extra setup for it and same time there are very
good chances of generating false alarms when there are any intermittent network issues
between external tool calling the health check API on API implementation. The API
implementation itself may not have any issues but due to some other factors some false
alarms may go out.
>> Creating an alert in API Manager when the API receives no requests within a specified
time period would actually generate realistic alerts but even here some false alarms may
go out when there are genuinely no requests from API clients.
The best and right way to achieve this requirement is to setup an alert on Runtime
Manager with a condition "Worker not responding". This would generate an alert
AS SOON AS the workers become unresponsive.


When can CloudHub Object Store v2 be used?


A. To store an unlimited number of key-value pairs


B. To store payloads with an average size greater than 15MB


C. To store information in Mule 4 Object Store v1


D. To store key-value pairs with keys up to 300 characters





D.
  To store key-value pairs with keys up to 300 characters

Explanation: CloudHub Object Store v2 is a managed key-value store provided by MuleSoft to support various use cases where temporary data storage is required. Here’s why Option D is correct:
Key Length Support: Object Store v2 allows storage of keys with a length of up to 300 characters, making it suitable for applications needing flexible and descriptive keys.
Limitations on Size:
Key-Value Limits: Object Store v2 is designed for moderate, transient storage needs, and does not support unlimited storage. Thus, Option A is incorrect.
Backward Compatibility: Object Store v2 does not support Mule 4 applications running Object Store v1. Option C is incorrect as Object Store v1 and v2 are distinct.

Once an API Implementation is ready and the API is registered on API Manager, who should request the access to the API on Anypoint Exchange?


A.

None


B.

Both


C.

API Client


D.

API Consumer





D.
  

API Consumer



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: API Consumer
*****************************************
>> API clients are piece of code or programs that use the client credentials of API
consumer but does not directly interact with Anypoint Exchange to get the access
>> API consumer is the one who should get registered and request access to API and then
API client needs to use those client credentials to hit the APIs
So, API consumer is the one who needs to request access on the API from Anypoint
Exchange

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"

A company has started to create an application network and is now planning to implement a Center for Enablement (C4E) organizational model. What key factor would lead the company to decide upon a federated rather than a centralized C4E?


A.

When there are a large number of existing common assets shared by development teams


B.

When various teams responsible for creating APIs are new to integration and hence need extensive training


C.

When development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups


D.

When the majority of the applications in the application network are cloud based





C.
  

When development is already organized into several independent initiatives or groups



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: When development is already organized into several independent
initiatives or groups
*****************************************
>> It would require lot of process effort in an organization to have a single C4E team
coordinating with multiple already organized development teams which are into several
independent initiatives. A single C4E works well with different teams having at least a
common initiative. So, in this scenario, federated C4E works well instead of centralized
C4E.
