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 or Microsoft Azure credentials that you provide during the onboarding process. For this reason, your organization must be using Okta or Microsoft Azure as an identity provider. The Okta or Microsoft Azure account must be configured for multi-factor authentication (MFA) using one-time passcodes.
To onboard your MuleSoft instance, you complete the following actions:
  1. 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
    UserThe login email address of the MuleSoft user account that SSPM will use to access your MuleSoft instance.
    Required Permissions: The user must be an organization owner or organization administrator for the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform.
    PasswordThe password for the login account.
    Organization Domain NameThe name of the domain in the MuleSoft Anypoint Platform that is associated with your organization.
    If you're logging in through Okta, you must provide SSPM with the following additional information:
    ItemDescription
    Okta subdomainThe Okta subdomain for your organization. The subdomain was included in the login URL that Okta assigned to your organization.
    Okta 2FA secretA key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for MFA.
    If you're using Azure Active Directory (AD) as your identity provider, you must provide SSPM with the following additional information:
    ItemDescription
    Azure 2FA secretA key that is used to generate one-time passcodes for MFA.

      The steps you follow to get the MFA secret key differs depending on the identity provider you're using to access the account.
      1. (For Okta log in) To access the account through Okta:
        1. Identify your Okta subdomain.
        2. Generate and copy an MFA secret key.
