Overview
The enterprise edition of Mule runtime comes equipped with a Secure Configuration Properties module which is a very neat tool that allows you to hide your keys from prying eyes.
Here is an example of how you could:
- encrypt strings or entire files
- reference encrypted properties stored in a file
- decrypt them with a master key;
- and use those values to connect to Salesforce cloud to retrieve a list of Accounts.
This article assumes that you have a Salesforce developer account, and possess basic knowledge of Anypoint Studio 7 and various Mule concepts.
1. Get the tool ready, and prepare your encrypted values
Download the encryption tool at https://docs.mulesoft.com/mule4-user-guide/v/4.1/_attachments/secure-properties-tool.jar
Come up with your master key. For this demo I am using My$ecr3tK3y!!
Open DOS and change directory to the folder where your jar file is located.
