Data Cloud/MuleSoft Integration Part 4: Secure your API with basic authentication in API Manager

Описание: We already finished our Data Cloud integration with MuleSoft. We have everything deployed and running in CloudHub, and we know how to call this integration to query, insert, or delete records from/to Data Cloud. However, our integration has a fatal flaw: we have no security.

In Part 2 of this series, we learned that we should not share the CloudHub URL because everyone had access to our Data Cloud credentials with just the link.

There is a simple solution to this problem. In this post, we'll learn how to connect our Mule app (deployed in CloudHub) to API Manager to add basic authentication. This way, even if you share your URL by mistake, people would still need your username/password to access it.
