Extract an Encryption Certificate or Signing Certificate from the SP Metadata File

Use the following procedure if you must extract the encryption or signing certificate from the NetSuite Service Provider Metadata file. A Signing Certificate is only required if you are using an SP-initiated flow, or if you are using Single Logout (SLO).

To extract a certificate from the SP metadata file:

  1. Download the SP metadata file from your NetSuite account.

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

    2. Download the SP metadata file to your computer. Remember the location you save the file to.

  2. Create a new file in a text editor and enter the following text exactly as shown:

                    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

  3. Use a text editor to open the SP metadata file you saved to your computer.

  4. Copy the appropriate line from the SP metadata file.
