Prepare to Provide NetSuite SP Metadata to Your IdP

After the SAML Single Sign-on feature is enabled, administrators and users with the Set Up SAML Single Sign-on permission can view and edit the SAML Setup page in NetSuite. How you configure NetSuite as a service provider (SP) with the identity provider (IdP) of your choice depends on the IdP you have selected. To prepare for any eventuality, before you attempt to set up SAML with your IdP, you should gather some information from the SAML Setup page in NetSuite.

The person responsible for configuring SAML access to NetSuite on the IdP side should perform the following steps.

To copy the NetSuite SP metadata file and related URL:

1. Go to Setup > Integration > SAML Single Sign-on.

2. Copy the URL shown in the NetSuite Service Provider Metadata field, and save it where you can retrieve it when necessary.

3. Click the link in the NetSuite Service Provider Metadata field, and download the SP metadata file to your computer.

Note:

As of May 2020, the default value for the location is set to the NetSuite system domain. You do not have to change the configuration if we move your account to a different data center location, or if you configure SAML SSO in multiple accounts in various data center locations.
