OAuth 2.0 Certificate Expiration Notification in NetSuite 2025.2

Starting in NetSuite 2025.2, account administrators utilizing the OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow will receive proactive email notifications regarding the impending expiration of their OAuth certificates. This enhancement aims to streamline integrations and minimize downtime.

What’s New?

With this release, NetSuite has implemented an automatic notification system that informs administrators when their OAuth 2.0 certificates are approaching expiration. The notifications are sent based on the following criteria:

Notification Periods: Notifications will be dispatched when certificates are set to expire in 60 days, 30 days, or 14 days. This early warning allows administrators ample time to take action.
Consolidated Notifications: If multiple certificates are expiring on the same day for a single account, the notifications for these will be included in a single email. This approach reduces inbox clutter, making it simpler to keep track of multiple expirations.
Exclusions: It is important to note that notifications will not be sent for revoked certificates or those uploaded with a validity period shorter than two months. Thus, only active certificates nearing their expiration will trigger an alert.

By ensuring that administrators are made aware of expiring certificates, this feature supports ongoing integrations without interruptions due to expired credentials. It is critical for administrators to act on these notifications promptly to maintain seamless system operations.

Who This Affects

This functionality is particularly relevant for:

Administrators: They are directly responsible for managing OAuth certificates and need to ensure timely renewals.
Integration Teams: Teams relying on OAuth for connecting various services must be aware of these updates to prevent integration failures.

Regular oversight of OAuth credentials is integral to maintaining the effectiveness of integrations. The new notification system serves as a helpful reminder for any necessary updates.
