Troubleshooting: Stuck at Authorizing your session page

How to resolve login hangs, socket errors, and NetSuite token issues

Updated this week

Issue

If you get stuck on the “Authorizing your page” screen when logging into CloudExtend for Outlook or CloudExtend for Excel, the most common cause is that your NetSuite user has reached the maximum number of access tokens allowed.


NetSuite allows a user to have up to 25 active tokens. When that limit is exceeded, CloudExtend cannot create a new token and authentication may freeze or fail.

You may also see errors such as:

  • Unknown socket error

  • Connection timeout

  • Trouble connecting CloudExtend to NetSuite

These usually indicate either:

  • Incorrect NetSuite Account ID entered, or

  • A token limit issue


Before Troubleshooting

Make sure your NetSuite Account ID is correct. Users sometimes mistakenly enter their email instead of the numeric NetSuite Account ID.


Resolution

Revoke Old Tokens in NetSuite

If you’ve reached the 25-token limit, CloudExtend cannot authenticate until older tokens are removed.

Step 1: Open the Manage Access Tokens Page

NetSuite Path:
Home Dashboard → Settings Tile → Manage Access Tokens

Step 2: Sort and Revoke

  1. Sort the list by Date Created (oldest first)

  2. Find tokens associated with:

    • CloudExtend Excel

    • CloudExtend Outlook

  3. Revoke the oldest tokens first.

💡 Tip: It is safe to revoke all tokens created by CloudExtend.
New ones will be created automatically the next time you log in.

Step 3: Log Back Into CloudExtend

Now that NetSuite has available token slots, CloudExtend should authenticate successfully.


Additional Troubleshooting Steps

🔵 Account ID Issues

If you see an “unknown socket error,” verify:

  • You entered a numeric NetSuite Account ID

  • You did not enter your email address

  • You copied the Account ID directly from your NetSuite URL (ex: 1234567)

Incorrect Account IDs prevent CloudExtend from reaching the correct NetSuite environment.

🔵 SSO Connection Issues (for SSO-enabled organizations)

Sometimes SSO login hangs occur due to:

  • Incorrect Identity Provider (IDP) URL

  • Misalignment between expected and actual SSO flows

  • Cached authentication attempts

Make sure:

  • You’re using the exact IDP URL defined by your organization

  • You follow the SSO prompts correctly during login

  • Your IDP is not redirecting incorrectly
