# NetSuite (Client Credentials) - How do I link my account?

# Overview

To authenticate with NetSuite using Client Credentials, you will need:

1. **Account ID** - Your NetSuite account ID
2. **Client ID** - From your NetSuite integration record
3. **Certificate ID** - The ID of the certificate registered in your NetSuite integration
4. **Private Key** - The RSA private key (PEM format) used to sign the JWT assertion

This guide will walk you through finding each of these values.

### Prerequisites:

* You must have an **Administrator** role in NetSuite to create integrations and register certificates

### Instructions:

#### Step 1: Enable required features

1. Log in to NetSuite and navigate to **Setup** → **Company** → **Enable Features**.
2. Under the **SuiteTalk** tab, enable *REST WEB SERVICES*.
3. Under the **Manage Authentication** tab, enable *OAUTH 2.0*.
4. Save your changes.

#### Step 2: Create an integration record and get your Client ID

1. Navigate to **Setup** → **Integration** → **Manage Integrations** → **New**.
2. Set a name (e.g., `Nango Client Credentials`).
3. Under **Authentication**, enable *CLIENT CREDENTIALS (MACHINE TO MACHINE) GRANT* and disable all other grant types.
4. Save the integration.
5. Copy the **Client ID** displayed after saving — you won't be able to retrieve it again.

#### Step 3: Generate an RSA key pair

Generate a 2048-bit (or larger) RSA key pair:

```bash theme={null}
openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in private_key.pem -pubout -out public_key.pem
```

Keep `private_key.pem` secure — you'll paste it into the **Private Key** field. The `public_key.pem` is uploaded to NetSuite in the next step.

#### Step 4: Register the certificate and get your Certificate ID

1. Navigate to **Setup** → **Integration** → **Manage Authentication** → **OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials (M2M) Setup**.
2. Click **Create New**.
3. In the popup, select the **entity** (the user this integration runs as), **role**, and **application** (the integration you created in step 2).
4. Upload your `public_key.pem`.
5. Click **Save** and copy the **Certificate ID** displayed.

#### Step 5: Find your Account ID

Your Account ID appears in your NetSuite URL — for example, if your URL is `https://1234567.app.netsuite.com`, your Account ID is `1234567`.

You can also find it under **Setup** → **Company** → **Company Information** → **Account ID**.

#### Step 6: Enter your credentials in the Connect UI

1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with NetSuite.
2. Enter your **Account ID**, **Client ID**, **Certificate ID**, and paste the full contents of `private_key.pem` (including the `-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----` header and footer) into the **Private Key** field.
3. Submit the form.
