NetSuite Developer II Certification Practice Exam

Outbound Single Sign-On (SSO) is designed to facilitate authentication between NetSuite and external applications. By using SSO, when a user is authenticated in NetSuite, they do not need to re-enter their credentials to access third-party applications; instead, the authentication token provided by NetSuite is used. This streamlines the user experience and enhances security by minimizing password reuse across platforms.

This ability to authenticate external applications using NetSuite makes the correct answer significant because it highlights the core purpose of Outbound SSO—enabling seamless transitions between systems while ensuring secure access.

The other options do not accurately describe the functionality of Outbound SSO. The assertion about enabling multiple logins from a single site does not align with how SSO typically operates, which focuses on single access points for easier management rather than multiple logins. Storing authentication details in an unencrypted format contradicts best security practices. Finally, stating that it is only available for mobile applications is misleading, as Outbound SSO can be utilized across various platforms, not restricted to mobile alone.
