N/auth Module in NetSuite: Token-Based Authentication Guide

The N/auth module provides utilities for managing token-based authentication (TBA) in SuiteScript — particularly useful for RESTlets and integration scripts that require authentication context management.

Changing Password (Administrative Use)

define(["N/auth", "N/log"], (auth, log) => {
  // Change the current user password
  auth.changePassword({
    currentPassword: "OldPass123",
    newPassword: "NewPass456!"
  });
  log.audit("Password changed", "Success");
  return {};
});

About TBA in NetSuite

Token-Based Authentication (TBA) is the recommended authentication method for all NetSuite integrations. It uses a 4-part credential set: Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Token ID, and Token Secret. TBA is configured in the NetSuite UI under Setup > Company > Enable Features > SuiteCloud, then under Setup > Integration > Manage Access Tokens.
