Objective
The Objective of today’s Webinar is to
• How to use Mule SDK for building customer connectors.
• Discuss Basic Auth without using API Manager for Mulesoft Projects

7. Mulesoft SDK- Custom Connector

8. Agenda
● What is Mule Connector?
● What is Custom Connector and why?
● What is mule XML SDK?
● Steps to Create a Connector

9. What is Mule Connector?
● A connector is software that provides a connection between a Mule flow and an external
resource(third-party systems and APIs).
9
What is Custom Connector and why?
● Custom Connector are reusable components that hide API complexity from the integration
developer.
● Custom connectors facilitate integration with SaaS and on-premise Web services,
applications.
What is mule XML SDK?
● The new XML SDK is one of the easiest ways to write code for a custom connector with
MuleSoft. Creating a custom module in Mule XML SDK is similar to creating a Mule
application.
● XML SDK is easier to build compared to the existing JAVA Mule SDK.

10. Steps to Create a Connector
● XML SDK Basics:
● Operations.
● Parameters.
● mvn archetype:generate
10
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.mule.extensions
-DarchetypeArtifactId=mule-extensions-xml-archetype
-DarchetypeVersion=1.2.0
-DgroupId=org.mule.extension
-DartifactId=sample-connector-extension
-Dpackage=mule-module
-Dversion=1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
-DextensionName=”Sample Connector”

11. Continued..
● archetypeGroupId -> the groupId in the Mule repository where the skeleton
for the XML SDK is defined
● archetypeArtifactId -> the artifact id of the archetype under this repository
● archetypeVersion -> the version of the mule-extensions-xml-archetype
● groupId -> the group ID for the module that you are creating
● artifactId -> the artifact ID for your custom module
● Package -> the package under which you want to build your application
● Version -> the version of your custom module
● extensionName -> the name of your custom module

 What is Basic Security
 What is Authorization filter
 How is it different from API Management Policies
 Custom Roles and users
 Demo
 Q&A

15. What is Basic Security
• Basic Security is an authentication system built into the HTTP protocol
• Till Basic Security all incoming requests will be validated for the
username-password combination
• Designed to let you manage security of applications through user
credentials.

16. What is Authorization Filter
• Role based validation will be done at Authorization filter level and
Authorize users against a required set of authorities.
• Spring module configuration - Spring Config and Spring Security
manager, to provide name and delegate reference.
• Designed to let you manage security of applications through user’s role
based on Spring Module.
• Provides double security at application level

17. How is it different from Basic Auth- API Manager
• API Manager is not required for primary authentication mechanism.
• Mulesoft may work as secure passthrough
• No Client creation or token generation required
• Cost effective way for basic authentication
