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.

Developing a Flask App & Deploying on AWS

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 06:13:58 +0000

Flask is a lightweight Python web framework. It’s lightweight nature makes it a great candidate for creating APIs. In this tutorial, I’m going to cover how to make a simple RESTful API service with Flask and host it on AWS.

First, we’ll make a basic Flask app and use AWS Elastic Beanstalk to deploy it. Then, we’ll use Zappa to deploy a serverless app to AWS Lambda. For more information on serverless architectures and how Zappa works, check out the About section on their GitHub page.

Quick Reference: Setting up HTTPS in Mule 4

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: "![...]"

Maven HelloWorld - Create, Compile and Execute a Java Maven Project

Sat, 01 Sep 2018 02:49:43 +0000

Create

mvn archetype:generate

This will start an interactive process for generating the new project. There will be prompts for the groupId, artifactId, and version (among other things).

To skip the interactive method, use the following syntax instead:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=ca.salmanfs.javaPractice -DartifactId=HelloWorld -DinteractiveMode=false

Compile

Maven built us a basic Java file that prints “Hello World!” We can compile that now:

mvn compile

This will execute the Maven build lifecycle phases of ‘validate’ and ‘compile’. This is what Maven is doing for us:
