MuleSoft-Platform-Architect-I Exam Dumps : Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Architect (Mule-Arch-201)

When a Basic Authentication policy is applied to an API on CloudHub but clients can still access the API without authentication, the likely cause is a missing Autodiscovery element. Here’s how this affects API security:

Autodiscovery in MuleSoft:

The Autodiscovery element is essential for linking an API implementation deployed in CloudHub with its API instance defined in API Manager. This connection allows the policies applied in API Manager, such as Basic Authentication, to be enforced on the deployed API.

Why Option B is Correct:

Without Autodiscovery, the deployed application does not "know" about the policies configured in API Manager, resulting in unrestricted access. Adding Autodiscovery enables the API to enforce the policies correctly.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (incorrect Exchange version) would not cause bypassing of security policies.

Option C (missing client applications) does not impact authentication policy enforcement.

Option D (worker restart) is irrelevant to policy enforcement.

ReferencesRefer to MuleSoft documentation on Autodiscovery configuration and linking API Manager policies for additional information on setting up secure API policies​.

>> Application Network is a disposable architecture.

>> Which means, it can be altered without disturbing entire architecture and its components.

>> It bends as per requirements or design changes but does not break

Explanation

Correct Answer: The number of API specifications in RAML or OAS format published to Anypoint Exchange

*****************************************

>> The success of C4E always depends on their contribution to the number of reusable assets that they have helped to build and publish to Anypoint Exchange.

>> It is NOT due to any factors w.r.t # of outages, Manual vs CI/CD deployments or Publicly accessible HTTP endpoints

>> Anypoint Platform APIs helps us to quickly run and get the number of published RAML/OAS assets to Anypoint Exchange. This clearly depicts how successful a C4E team is based on number of returned assets in the response.
