authentication middleware in suitecommerce advaned

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In SuiteCommerce Advanced, you can use Suitelets as a middleware for authentication. Suitelets are server-side scripts that operate in a request-response model. They are invoked by making a GET or POST request to a specific URL. For your task of changing the navbar to have an additional re-direct, you would need to modify the relevant SuiteCommerce Advanced files. The files for SuiteCommerce Advanced are typically stored in the file cabinet in NetSuite. You would need to navigate to the correct directory and modify the relevant files. For validating user authentication credentials, you might need to create a custom Suitelet or Restlet. However, storing passwords in NetSuite is not recommended due to security reasons. Instead, you should use NetSuite's built-in authentication mechanisms. Please note that these are general guidelines and the exact steps might vary based on your specific SuiteCommerce Advanced setup and requirements. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
