To create a valid certificate for OAuth 2.0 M2M (Machine-to-Machine) authentication in NetSuite, you need to generate a public/private key pair (certificate), upload the public key to NetSuite, and use the private key securely in your application or integration setup. Step-by-Step Certificate Creation Generate Key Pair Use OpenSSL to generate the keys by running: openssl… Continue reading Creating Valid Certificates for NetSuite OAuth 2.0 M2M Integrations

OAuth 2.0 over OAuth 1.0
OAuth 2.0 is preferred over OAuth 1.0 for several reasons: 1. Simplicity of Implementation OAuth 1.0: Requires complex cryptographic signatures to verify requests. This means developers have to deal with complicated encryption methods and handle signing each request, which can be tricky and error-prone. OAuth 2.0: Uses simpler bearer tokens for authentication. This means you don’t need to… Continue reading OAuth 2.0 over OAuth 1.0
How to Share OAuth 2.0 Integration Credentials in NetSuite Without Granting Account Access
When setting up OAuth 2.0 integrations in NetSuite, there may be scenarios where you need to share the integration credentials with someone who does not have direct access to the NetSuite account. To securely enable this, NetSuite provides an OAuth 2.0 Consent Policy during the creation of the integration record. By selecting the appropriate consent… Continue reading How to Share OAuth 2.0 Integration Credentials in NetSuite Without Granting Account Access

Why OAuth 2.0 is preffered?
OAuth 2.0 is preferred because it offers secure, flexible, and user-friendly ways to manage access to your data: Secure Access: OAuth 2.0 lets apps access your data without needing your password, keeping your credentials safe. Control: You can give apps specific permissions (like read-only access) rather than full access, so you have more control over… Continue reading Why OAuth 2.0 is preffered?
How to create and RSA sign a JWT in NetSuite to consume an external OAuth2 service
When connecting to external oAuth2 services, one typically needs to generate and sign a JWT (JSON Web Token). This JWT then becomes part of an HTTP request to an external endpoint, aiming to secure an access token for subsequent interactions. While JWTs can be symmetrically or asymmetrically signed, this article will focus on using RSA… Continue reading How to create and RSA sign a JWT in NetSuite to consume an external OAuth2 service
