Authentication Using Server Certificates for ADO.NET
ADO.NET uses TLS-secured connections. Currently, only TLS 1.2 is supported. Further, we actively look for new vulnerabilities and respond as needed to new threats.
You should use authentication using server certificates. The required server certificates are usually already included in your Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. In case they are not, you can download the security certificates from the SuiteAnalytics Connect Driver Download page, and add them manually.
To add the required security certificates to the certificates store:
-
In the Settings portlet on your NetSuite home page, click Set Up SuiteAnalytics Connect. If the download link is not displayed, you need to enable the Connect Service. For more information, see Enabling the Connect Service Feature.
-
Click the Download button next to CA CERTIFICATES.
-
When the certificates .zip file is downloaded, extract it to any location on your computer.
-
Next, go to your Windows Start menu, type mmc in the search field and press Enter. This opens the Microsoft Management Console.
-
On the File menu, select Add/Remove Snap-in.
-
Select the Certificates snap-in and click Add.
You can set the snap-in to manage security certificates for your user account, service account, or computer account.
-
When you have finished setting up the snap-in, click OK.
-
In the console tree, double-click Certificates.
-
Right-click the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store and select All Tasks > Import.
-
Follow the wizard’s instructions to specify the downloaded security certificate files and import them to your Trusted Root Certification Authorities store.
When the security certificates are imported, the SuiteAnalytics Connect ADO.NET integrations will automatically start using them when connecting to NetSuite.
