NetSuite RESTlet Token-Based Authentication
You can configure NetSuite RESTlet connections to use token-based authentication to access NetSuite.
Token-based authentication is the preferred method to access NetSuite. When a connection uses token-based authentication, Informatica Cloud uses a token ID and token secret to access NetSuite instead of a user name and password.
To set up token-based authentication, you install a NetSuite RESTlet bundle for Informatica Cloud token-based authentication and generate a token ID and token secret in NetSuite. The token does not expire unless you revoke it from your NetSuite account. However, you might need to generate a new token if Informatica updates the bundle version in the future.
You enter the generated token ID and token secret when you specify the NetSuite RESTlet connection properties in Informatica Cloud.
Generating a NetSuite Token ID and Token Secret
To use token-based authentication in NetSuite, install an Informatica token-based authentication bundle and generate the token ID and token secret. You use the token ID and token secret when you configure the NetSuite RESTlet connection in Informatica Cloud.
1. Log in to NetSuite using a Full Access or Administrator account.
2. Navigate to Customization > SuiteBundler > Search and Install Bundles.
3. Search for the InformaticaTBABundle keyword.
A bundle with Bundle ID of 116143 appears in the search results.
4. Select InformaticaTBABundle and install it.
5. Navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Access Tokens > New.
6. For Application Name, select InformaticaTBAIntegration.
7. Write down the access token and token secret displayed on the page.
You enter the token ID and token secret in Informatica Cloud when you configure the NetSuite RESTlet connection.
Note: If you lose the token information, you must generate another token in NetSuite. NetSuite does not provide token information for previously generated tokens.
