What is Outbound Single Sign-on (SuiteSignOn)?
Outbound Single Sign-on allows users to authenticate into external applications via NetSuite without needing to re-enter their passwords. While this functionality has been useful, the decision to phase it out reflects a shift towards more secure and standardized authentication protocols.
Alternatives to Outbound Single Sign-on
For those currently using SuiteSignOn, NetSuite recommends transitioning to the NetSuite as OIDC (OpenID Connect) Provider feature.
