When the Mule Maven plugin deploys an app, it has to prove to Anypoint Platform who is deploying. You choose one of four authentication methods, and each one uses different parameters inside the deployment element of pom.xml. The options are a plain username and password, encrypted credentials stored in Maven's settings.xml, an authorization token, or a Connected App.
Core information
  • The Mule Maven plugin supports four authentication methods: Username and password, Server, Authorization Token, and Connected Apps. The same four methods work in cloudHubDeployment (CloudHub), cloudhub2Deployment (CloudHub 2.0), runtimeFabricDeployment (Runtime Fabric), and armDeployment (on-premises through the Runtime Manager REST API).
More details and nuances
  • If username and password are also set in the deployment configuration, they overwrite the defined server ID. Remove username and password from the deployment element when you use the Server method.
