Remarks

This property determines how the NetSuite authenticates with NetSuite.

Supported values are:

• OAuth: Uses standard OAuth 2.0 authentication, with dynamically generated tokens.
• Token: Uses Token-Based Authentication (TBA) with manually created tokens inside of NetSuite.
• OAuthJWT: Uses OAuth 2.0 with JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for server-to-server authentication. This option is supported with the SuiteQL schema.
• Basic (Deprecated): Uses a username and password to authenticate. This method is no longer supported for NetSuite accounts using API version 2020 or later.

The available authentication options depend on the Schema being used:

• SuiteTalk: Supports Token authentication only. Legacy API versions may support Basic.
• SuiteQL: Supports Token, OAuth, and OAuthJWT.
