Enable Token-Based Authentication
With the release of NetSuite 2021.1, all versions of the developer tools, including the extension, theme, and SuiteCommerce Advanced command-line developer tools, require token-based authentication. Developer tools can no longer accept NetSuite user credentials for authentication. This update to token-based authentication is required for compliance with the required Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) policy for NetSuite administrators and other highly privileged roles.
SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) 2020.2.4 and later releases support token-based authentication. If you cannot migrate to the latest release of SCA, you can prepare your current installation of SCA for token-based authentication as described in the following patch instructions. Be sure to follow the patch instructions appropriate for the version of SuiteCommerce Advanced you have implemented.
