Hi, 

 

using the resources provided, now i am getting following error. Can you please let me know what i am doing wrong and how to fix it. 

 

Error - 

ValueError: Could not deserialize key data.

Code

from boxsdk import JWTAuth
from boxsdk import Client

# Configure JWT auth object
sdk = JWTAuth(
  client_id="my_client_id",
  client_secret="my_client_Secret",
  enterprise_id="enterprise_Id",
  jwt_key_id="key_id",
 rsa_private_key_file_sys_path = "C:/Users/Downloads/boxAPIAccess.pem",
rsa_private_key_passphrase = b'pass_phrase'
)

   Could you check the format of your private key file?  There is a very specific format it needs to be in for the parser to correctly read it, and errors often stem from it being subtly different than what the underlying JWT library can handle.

   

  For example, a valid private key that I can confirm works looks like this:

  -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
  Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
  DEK-Info: AES-256-CBC,7629999DB4ECE43F49EAB01DA136CFE8
  
  <<< BASE64 ENCODED DATA GOES HERE >>>
  -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

  The beginning and ending lines — as well as the line breaks — are required.

  Thanks for the reply. I have downloaded the .JSON file for public/private key pair from box developer console gave the path to it in my code as shown above. What wrong can go with it. I haven't changed anything in the file.
