Setting the OAuth2Token Attribute

When you install or update your Connect driver, the OAuth2Token attribute is not included in the default driver or data source name (DSN) attributes. To access the NetSuite2.com data source with OAuth 2.0 you must update the connection attributes to add the OAuth2Token attribute. Depending on the driver that you use, there are different ways to edit the connection attributes.

ODBC drivers

If you use a connection string, you must update your connection string to add the OAuth2Token attribute and place it at the end of the list of CustomProperties attributes. For more information about how to include the attribute, see Connecting Using a Connection String and Connection Attributes.

Note:

Using a DSN-less connection string for ODBC drivers on Windows is the recommended option. If you choose to use a DSN connection instead, you must add the OAuth2Token attribute using the Windows Registry Editor application. The access token expires after one hour, and you need to update the access token each time it has expired. Therefore, the recommended option is using a DSN-less connection string.

JDBC drivers

You must update your connection string to add the OAuth2Token attribute and place it at the end of the list of CustomProperties attributes. For more information, see JDBC Connection Properties.

ADO.NET drivers

You must update your connection string to add the OAuth2Token attribute and place it at the end of the list of CustomProperties attributes. For more information about using connection strings with the ADO.NET driver, see ADO.NET Connection Options.
