Duration: 15:00 mins

Welcome to the MuleSoft Universal API Management (UAPIM) Workshop. Below are the instructions to follow in order to gain access to the environment used in the hands-on workshop.

The following will detail how to gain access to the workshop environment. You may run the workshop from a company device or a personal device.

Step 1: Register for an Anypoint Platform Account

1. Locate the email titled, "Invitation to the Anypoint Platform", which was sent to all workshop registrants. The email is from <anypoint-noreply@mulesoft.com> After clicking the link in the email, DO NOT use an existing Anypoint account. Follow the instructions below to setup a new account to be used during the workshop.

◦ For users with an existing Anypoint Account, DO NOT use the same username. Instead, create a new username, such as [firstname][lastname]_UAPIMworkshop.

◦ The same email address may be used for multiple Anypoint Platform accounts. Only the usernames must be different.

5. Click “Accept and create account” to finish registration in the Anypoint Platform. 6. If prompted, DO NOT enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Finally, once you login, make sure to move to the Business Group allocated for this workshop.

Note: The name will vary depending on the provisioning name selected by your instructor, but it will always be the bottom down business group.

Step 2: Setup the Terminal Environment

1. Locate the email titled, “ MuleSoft Workshop Environment Details ” which was sent to all workshop registrants. This email is sent from <demos@mulesoft.com> .

Note: The CLI portion of this workshop will take place on a browser based terminal.

Below we will review the steps to connect.

Depending on the region where your workshop was provisioned, you need to go to one of these links. If in doubt, ask your instructor

User: [PROVIDED BY INSTRUCTOR]

Password: [PROVIDED BY INSTRUCTOR]

From here you are now able to execute commands within the web terminal or Linux GUI in concert with the workshop module instructions and the Anypoint Platform.

Next you will insert the personal IP address that you received from the email that came from “demos@mulesoft.com in the previous step. In the “Workshop environment information” portion of the email you will find your personal private IP address for the Linux server

RDP instructions To login to the remote instance, enter: rdp://username:password_supplied_by_instructor@your.ip.address in the connection URI, like the screenshot below. Note: this is a different username/password than you used to login to Guacamole.

And then press connect on the far right.

API Test Client

We will also need a client software to test our APIs. For this, we are going to use Advanced Rest Client (ARC) - However you can use any other client you want.

This section is to help troubleshoot some most common issues found running this workshop.
