Note : Login will only be done via desktop application.

Currenlty we are using Netsuite webservice with passport authentication.Also is it possible to login netsuite without providing account number.

Answer 1

You can use REST to login without providing the account number:

Using the following URL:

https://rest.netsuite.com/rest/roles

..and passing Authorization in the header:

NLAuth [email protected], nlauth_signature=mypassword

Answer 2

If I understand correctly, you can also use Netsuite's Single-Sign On (SSO) feature. You can either use SAML and set up an IdP server or you can use their Inbound Single Sign-on feature which you have to upgrade to (i.e. pay for) but easier to set up.
