Configuring Security

Mule ESB allows you to authenticate requests via endpoints using

transport-specific or generic authentication methods. It also allows you to

control method-level authorization on your service components. The

Security Manager is responsible for authenticating requests based on one

or more security providers. All security is pluggable via the Mule security

API , so you can easily plug in custom implementations.

WS-Security and SAML

WS-Security is a standard protocol for applying security to Web services. It contains specifications on how integrity and confidentiality in a SOAP message can be enforced via XML signatures and binary security tokens such as X.509 certificates and Kerberos tickets as well as encryption headers. It ensures end-to-end security by working in the application layer as opposed to the transport layer
