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:
