  Here's an example

   

  BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection api = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(
                  ENTERPRISE_ID, CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, encryptionPref, accessTokenCache);
  
          Iterable managedUsers = BoxUser.getAllEnterpriseUsers(api, "***email address removed for privacy***");
          for (BoxUser.Info managedUser : managedUsers) {
              System.out.println(managedUser.getName() + " " + managedUser.getStatus());
              if (managedUser.getStatus().equals(BoxUser.Status.ACTIVE)) {
  
                  // Used to get AppUser or ManagedUser
                  BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection userApi = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppUserConnection(managedUser.getID(), CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, encryptionPref, accessTokenCache);
  
                  BoxItem.Info boxItem = BoxFolder.getSharedItem(api, "https://hpdnyc.app.box.com/s/zjq4iwixgn44gvqt43ou4jmiqfehemkc");
                  BoxFolder publicFolder = (BoxFolder)boxItem.getResource();
                  Iterable items = publicFolder.getChildren();
                  for (BoxItem.Info item : items) {
                      System.out.println("\t" + item.getName());
                  }
              }
          }

   I was able to get the enterpise acess token, but not the user tokens. I tried to user tokens by OATH with JWT. 

  I am getting "Cannot obtain user token based on the enterpise configuration for your app?"  error when trying to authenicate on behalf of user.
