Using Box with JWT (Server Authentication)

Question

I use JWT server authentication in the Box API API:

IAccessTokenCache accessTokenCache = new InMemoryLRUAccessTokenCache(100); Reader reader = new FileReader("D:\\config.json"); BoxConfig boxConfig = BoxConfig.readFrom(reader); BoxAPIConnection api = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppUserConnection(USER_ID,boxConfig); 

but Box exception:

 {"error":"unauthorized_client","error_description":"This app is not authorized by the enterprise admin"} 

Answer 1

The Box administrator must go to the Admin Console → Enterprise Settings → Applications and authorize your application.

Answer 2

@kendomen is right. Here are some more details:

Go to api.box.com. Then select "Admin Console."

Now this is where he gets funky. Click on the security step.

Then fine print.

This gives a toolbar that should have been displayed three steps back. Click "Applications."

Then click "Authorize new application."

As a result, a pop-up window appears in which you enter the application key. This is referred to as the “ClientID” in the json file that you may have downloaded from Box.com.
