How to Setup Mutual TLS in MuleSoft

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 22:49:00 +0000

Mutual TLS (mTLS), or 2-way SSL, is a server-to-server communication protocol where both client and server authenticate each other. In this context, client simply means the party requesting a resource and server is the party serving the client’s request.

2-way SSL differs from 1-way SSL in which only the client authenticates the server. In 1-way SSL, the client is only required to maintain the server’s public key in its truststore and the server only needs to maintain its own private key in its keystore.

Year in Review: MuleSoft Dev

I’ve been working with a MuleSoft consultancy for the last year. This position was my first software engineering role since graduation. This month I was promoted to Lead Engineer. This was based on my performance review that took place last month. As such, I thought I’d share some notes from the performance review.

2021 was a busy year. I began working with my current company in late April. I was new to MuleSoft so began training immediately. I passed the MuleSoft Certified Developer (MCD) test on my first try after 2 months of studying.

Inputs required:

keystore file name
alias
keypass/password
encryption key

Need to generate keystore:

keytool -genkeypair -dname "CN=Unknown, OU=Unknown, O=Unknown, L=Unknown, ST=Unknown, C=Unknown" -keyalg RSA -sigalg SHA256withRSA -keysize 2048 -validity 9999 -keystore <keystore_file_name (*.jks)> -alias <alias> -keypass <keypass/password> -storepass <keypass/password>

keypass/password is sensitive information needs to be stored in encrypted format in config/properties file

java -cp secure-properties-tool.jar com.mulesoft.tools.SecurePropertiesTool string encrypt AES CBC <encryption_key (16 chars)> <keypass/password>

output string should be placed in config file inside: "![...]"
