Explanation

Correct Answer: Guarding against Denial of Service attacks

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

>> Backend system overloading can be handled by enforcing "Spike Control Policy"

>> Logging HTTP requests and responses can be done by enforcing "Message Logging Policy"

>> Credentials can be tamper-proofed using "Security" and "Compliance" Policies

However, unfortunately, there is no proper way currently on Anypoint Platform to guard against DOS attacks.

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:

URI Parameters Requirement:

The default configuration for the Client ID Enforcement policy requires the client_id and client_secret to be included in each request’s URI parameters. This is a straightforward way to authenticate API requests without additional configurations.

Why Option C is Correct:

Providing client_id and client_secret in the URI parameters meets the policy’s requirements for each request, ensuring authorized access and avoiding the 401 error.

Explanation of Incorrect Options:

Option A (sending a token in the header) would be applicable for token-based authentication (like OAuth 2.0), not Client ID Enforcement.

Option B (request body) and Option D (header) are not valid locations for client_id and client_secret under the default configuration of Client ID Enforcement, which expects them in the URI.
