Hi icassiem 

 

A Client_Assertion token is typically used in server-to-server authentication scenarios. It's a way for an application (client) to authenticate itself to a server (like Microsoft Entra ID or Azure AD) using a signed JWT token (the assertion) instead of a client secret. This method is more secure and is particularly useful when you want to avoid storing secrets in your application.

 

Here are links about how to create the token for your reference:

Hi thank you Anonymous 

Do I have to create an entrai d by registering netsuite api with azure?

 

I tied something similar where I ussed powerbi api and required reg the api in azure for service principal only for partner and admin struggling for days saying bit was not possible

 

Is there no other option than reg netsuite with azure?
