MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect – Level 1 — Question 79

An organization's security requirements mandate centralized control at all times over authentication and authorization of external applications when invoking web APIs managed on Anypoint Platform.

What Anypoint Platform feature is most idiomatic (used for its intended purpose), straightforward, and maintainable to use to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Client management configured in access management
• B. Identity management configured in access management
• C. Enterprise Security module coded in Mule applications
• D. External access configured in API Manager

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because client management in access management is specifically designed to handle the centralized control of external application access. Options B and C do not focus on managing external applications, while D relates more to API exposure than centralized management.
