# OAuth 1 authentication
## Introduction
When a user chooses to [add a connector instance](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-instances/adding-an-instance.md) using **OAuth 1** authentication, they are required to enter the following credentials:
| Credential | Notes |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Consumer key` | Generated in Netsuite as part of your initial Patchworks integration. For more information see: [Consumer key & consumer secret.](#consumer-key-and-consumer-secret) |
| `Consumer secret` | Generated in Netsuite as part of your initial Patchworks integration. For more information see: [Consumer key & consumer secret.](#consumer-key-and-consumer-secret) |
| `Account id` | This is always the first element of the URL that you can see having logged into NetSuite. For more information see: [Consumer key & consumer secret.](#consumer-key-and-consumer-secret) |
| `Token` | Generated per user in Netsuite. For more information see: [Token key & token secret](#token-key-and-token-secret). |
| `Token secret` | Generated per user in Netsuite. For more information see: [Token key & token secret](#token-key-and-token-secret). |
| `Signature algorithm` | Always set to `sha256`. |
| `Signature method` | Always set to `HMAC-SHA256`. |
| `Realm` | For a NetSuite sandbox the accountid shown in NetSuite (as opposed to your NetSuite URL) typically includes an -SB element - for example: 1234567-SB1.
The realm will be the same value EXCEPT that the -SB element changes from a dash to an underscore.
So, an accountid of 1234567-SB1 becomes 1234567\_SB1 for the realm.

## Setting up OAuth 1 authentication
In order to add connector instances for NetSuite using OAuth 1 authentication, you must have completed all generic setup detailed in our [Preparing your NetSuite environment to work with Patchworks](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/patchworks-connectors/netsuite-prebuilt-connector/preparing-your-netsuite-environment-to-work-with-patchworks.md) guide.
## Finding your credentials
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are using a custom version of our prebuilt NetSuite connector (i.e. if authentication method and/or endpoint settings have been updated after the original installation), please be aware that your settings and requirements may vary.
{% endhint %}
### Consumer key & consumer secret
If you have followed our [Preparing your NetSuite environment to work with Patchworks](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/patchworks-connectors/netsuite-prebuilt-connector/preparing-your-netsuite-environment-to-work-with-patchworks.md) guide, you will have added a Patchworks integration and saved your client credentials (`consumer key`/`client id` and `consumer secret`/`client secret`) to a password manager.
If you can't find these credentials, a new set can be generated.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Be aware that if you reset credentials that have already been used to configure Patchworks [connector instances](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-instances/adding-an-instance.md), process flows will fail until you [apply the new credentials](/product-documentation/connectors-and-instances/working-with-instances/updating-an-instance.md).
{% endhint %}
### Account ID
This is always the first element of the URL that you can see having logged into NetSuite. For example, with the following URL:\
\
`https://tstdrv1431250.app.netsuite.com/app/center/card.nl?sc=-29&whence=`
...the **account id** would be:\
\
`tstdrv1431250`
Show me
### **Token key & token secret**
A **token key** and **token secret** can be generated for users with a Patchworks integration role. In NetSuite, navigate to `setup` | `users/roles` | `access tokens`.
These values should be added to a password manager at the time they are generated as they can't be re-accessed in NetSuite. If you can't find these credentials, a new set can be generated.
