A Step-by-Step Guide to Mulesoft Encryption

In the above the last few are interchangeable! So I use Blowfish algorithm encryption, CBC method, and I use the key of Mulesoft. You could use any key here as you will just specify in the secure configuration. Last item "examplePassword" would be an example of the password so this will change each time you encrypt a password. 

The output of the ran command is your encrypted password that will be placed in the yaml. 

In Mulesoft you will do a few steps: 

1. Update yaml password with the encrypted: '![encrypted_password]'
2. Update your config tools in global to be ${secure::yaml_details.element}
3. Go into exchange in your palette and search for secure and add Mulesoft Secure Configuration.
4. Global elements and add in the Secure configuration details: this will only be available after completing step 3!
5. The file will be your yaml file - this can be found in your global configuration element - or typically ${mule.env}-config.yaml. Basically, whatever your yaml file is named with your properties information. This is just pointing you to where you want to decrypt. Your key is what you encrypted with in the cmd steps noted above - in our example it is MuleSoft. And then be sure to set your encryption algorithm and methods to be proper to the cmd line steps.
