[All Salesforce Certified MuleSoft Platform Integration Architect (Mule-Arch-202) Questions]

An organization has an HTTPS-enabled Mule application named Orders API that receives requests from another Mule application named Process Orders.

The communication between these two Mule applications must be secured by TLS mutual authentication (two-way TLS).

At a minimum, what must be stored in each truststore and keystore of these two Mule applications to properly support two-way TLS between the two Mule applications while properly protecting each Mule application's keys?

AOrders API truststore: The Orders API public key
Process Orders keystore: The Process Orders private key and public key

BOrders API truststore: The Orders API private key and public key
Process Orders keystore: The Process Orders private key public key

COrders API truststore: The Process Orders public key
Orders API keystore: The Orders API private key and public key
Process Orders truststore: The Orders API public key
Process Orders keystore: The Process Orders private key and public key

DOrders API truststore: The Process Orders public key
Orders API keystore: The Orders API private key
Process Orders truststore: The Orders API public key
Process Orders keystore: The Process Orders private key

I’m not sure about B, feels like it’s missing something important.

Definitely need the Process Orders public key in the Orders API truststore!

Wait, why do we need both public and private keys in the truststore?

I’m a bit confused about the private and public keys. I thought the truststore only needed the public key, but I can't remember if the keystore should have both keys or just one.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the truststore should have the public key of the other application. So maybe option D is correct because it mentions both truststores and keystores.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the keystore should contain the private key and public key of each application. It feels like option C might be right since it mentions both keystores and truststores.

I remember that for two-way TLS, each application needs to trust the other, so I think we need to have the public keys in the truststores.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The answer is C - the Orders API needs the Process Orders public key in its truststore, and the Process Orders needs the Orders API public key in its truststore. And each application needs to store its own private and public keys in its keystore.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that we need to properly protect the private keys of each application while still allowing the necessary public keys to be shared for mutual authentication.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between the truststore and keystore and what needs to be stored in each. I'll need to review my notes on that.

This looks like a tricky question on TLS mutual authentication. I'll need to carefully think through the requirements and the different options.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the wording here. It says the solution must "minimize administrative overhead", so I'm not sure if something like an Automation runbook is the best approach since that would require more setup. Maybe an Azure Monitor alert with a dynamic threshold would be a better fit?

Okay, I think I've got this. Based on my understanding, the Standard Return Authorization -- Cash form can be used to create a Cash Refund transaction, where the customer receives a refund in cash for the returned items. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Ah, the age-old question of 'which keys go where?' I guess the exam writers are really trying to keep us on our toes with this one. Maybe they should just ask us to juggle the keys instead - that would be a real test of our security skills!

C is the answer, no doubt. Though I'm curious if the exam will ask us to generate the keys or if they'll just give them to us. Either way, I'm ready to secure those Orders!

Option C is the way to go. The only thing missing is the password for the keystores. Hopefully, the exam will provide that information!

Option C seems to be the correct answer. Each application needs to have the other's public key in its truststore, and its own private and public keys in its keystore.
