N/keyControl Module Members
Explore N/keyControl module members in SuiteScript, including key creation, deletion, and management methods.
The N/keyControl module in SuiteScript provides essential functionality for managing cryptographic keys. This module is crucial for developers implementing security measures, as it includes methods for creating, finding, loading, locking, and deleting keys. Understanding its members is vital for effective application security in NetSuite.
What Are the KeyControl Module Members?
The N/keyControl module comprises various members, including methods and properties that enable developers to interact with key objects efficiently. Below are the primary members:
| Member | Type | Return Type | Supported Script Types | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| keyControl.Key | Object | Object | Server scripts | Represents the key object. |
| keyControl.findKeys(options) | Method | Object | Server scripts | Searches for and returns keys based on specified criteria. |
| keyControl.createKey(options) | Method | keyControl.Key | Server scripts | Creates a new key with specified options. |
| keyControl.deleteKey(options) | Method | Object | Server scripts | Marks a key as deleted in the database while retaining its history. |
| keyControl.loadKey(options) | Method | keyControl.Key | Server scripts | Loads an existing key based on specified parameters. |
| keyControl.lock(options) | Method | string | Server scripts | Locks a key to prevent UI editing. |
| keyControl.unlock(options) | Method | string | Server scripts | Unlocks a previously locked key. |
| keyControl.Operator | Enum | enum | Server scripts | Defines the operators used in the findKeys method. |
Code Sample for Key Creation
Here’s a basic code snippet illustrating how to create a key using the createKey method:
// Sample code for creating a keyrequire(['N/keyControl'], function(keyControl) { var key = keyControl.createKey(); key.file = file.load(422); // ID of the file containing the private key});Why Is It Important?
Understanding the N/keyControl module is vital for developers who need to implement secure key management systems in their SuiteScript applications. The provided methods allow for comprehensive management of keys, which are critical for maintaining data security and integrity within NetSuite.
By familiarizing yourself with these members, you can enhance the security posture of your NetSuite scripts significantly.
