·2 min read·NetSuite 2026.2·From NetSuite Release Notes PDF

TL;DR: Starting in NetSuite 2026.2, all integrations utilizing NLAuth for authentication must transition to OAuth 2.0 by the time 2027.1 is released, as NLAuth will no longer be supported. This change is crucial for keeping your integrations functional and secure.

What's Changing in Authentication?

With the introduction of OAuth 2.0 and Token-based Authentication, the older method of NLAuth is being phased out. As of NetSuite 2027.1, any integrations still relying on NLAuth will cease to function. Therefore, it is essential to adopt OAuth 2.0 for any ongoing or future integrations.

Why OAuth 2.0?

OAuth 2.0 provides a more secure and flexible framework for authentication and authorization in integrations. By implementing OAuth 2.0, you enhance your system's security posture and align with modern standards for API security.

Migration Steps

  • Review current integrations using NLAuth.
  • Plan the migration to OAuth 2.0, ensuring your integrations are updated before the 2027.1 release.
  • Consult the OAuth 2.0 documentation for detailed guidance on implementation.

For further technical details, refer to the help topic on OAuth 2.0 in your NetSuite account.

Who This Affects

  • Administrators: Responsible for overseeing integration transitions.
  • Developers: Need to update code to accommodate OAuth 2.0.

Key Takeaways

  • Transition from NLAuth to OAuth 2.0 before 2027.1.
  • Enhance security for your NetSuite integrations with OAuth 2.0.
  • Review and update existing integrations to ensure continuity.
