·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

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:

MemberTypeReturn TypeSupported Script TypesDescription
keyControl.KeyObjectObjectServer scriptsRepresents the key object.
keyControl.findKeys(options)MethodObjectServer scriptsSearches for and returns keys based on specified criteria.
keyControl.createKey(options)MethodkeyControl.KeyServer scriptsCreates a new key with specified options.
keyControl.deleteKey(options)MethodObjectServer scriptsMarks a key as deleted in the database while retaining its history.
keyControl.loadKey(options)MethodkeyControl.KeyServer scriptsLoads an existing key based on specified parameters.
keyControl.lock(options)MethodstringServer scriptsLocks a key to prevent UI editing.
keyControl.unlock(options)MethodstringServer scriptsUnlocks a previously locked key.
keyControl.OperatorEnumenumServer scriptsDefines 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:

suitescript
// Sample code for creating a key
require(['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.

Frequently Asked Questions (4)

Is the N/keyControl module available for all script types in NetSuite?
No, the N/keyControl module is specifically supported for server scripts in NetSuite.
Can I use the N/keyControl module to prevent unwanted changes to cryptographic keys via the UI?
Yes, the N/keyControl module provides a method called 'lock' which prevents UI editing of keys, ensuring they remain unchanged.
How does the deleteKey method work within the N/keyControl module?
The deleteKey method marks a key as deleted in the database, but it retains the history of the key. This ensures that the key's existence and actions can still be traced if needed.
What parameters are necessary to use the findKeys method?
The article does not specify the exact parameters required for the findKeys method. You would need to consult the official NetSuite documentation for detailed usage requirements.
