Configuring and Using Authentication

SuiteProjects Pro can authenticate users internally, by using information stored in the SuiteProjects Pro database. SuiteProjects Pro also supports external authentication methods: an external Identity provider can be used to manage authentication using the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol, SAML can also be used to integrate with Active Directory, or the NetSuite Single Sign-On feature can be used to access applications in SuiteProjects Pro from within NetSuite. SuiteProjects Pro uses the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to ensure the security of network authentication — all passwords are encrypted during transmission.

The following authentication mechanisms may be configured and used for your SuiteProjects Pro account.

Note:

SuiteProjects Pro stopped supporting Secure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAPS) service for authentication with the SuiteProjects Pro 2020.1 release in April 2020. The Active Directory integration optional feature allowing to use Active Directory user authentication with Secure Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAPS) can no longer be enabled. You can use your existing LDAPS service with a SAML 2.0 service instead.
