Onboard a MuleSoft App to SSPM

Connect a MuleSoft instance to SSPM to detect posture risks.
For SSPM to detect posture risks in your MuleSoft instance, you must onboard your MuleSoft instance to SSPM. Through the onboarding process, SSPM logs in to MuleSoft using administrator account credentials. SSPM uses this account to scan your MuleSoft instance for misconfigured settings. If there are misconfigured settings, SSPM suggests a remediation action based on best practices.
SSPM gets access to your MuleSoft instance by using Okta SSO credentials that you provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta as an identity provider. The Okta account must be configured for multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
To onboard your MuleSoft instance, you complete the following actions:

Collect Information for Accessing Your MuleSoft Instance

To access your MuleSoft instance, SSPM requires the following information, which you will specify during the onboarding process.
ItemDescription
UserAn email address of an Okta user account.
Required Permissions: The user must be an organization owner or organization administrator for the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform.
PasswordThe password for the Okta user account.

MFA Secret KeyA key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for multi-factor authentication.
Organization Domain NameThe name of the domain in the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform that is associated with your organization.
As you complete the following steps, make note of the values of the items described in the preceding table. You will need to enter these values during onboarding to access your MuleSoft instance from SSPM.
  1. Identify the Okta user account that SSPM will use to access your MuleSoft instance. The user must be an organization owner or organization administrator for the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform. SSPM needs this administrator access to monitor your MuleSoft instance.
