Box Status

Box.com SDK - Getting user and admin tokens

Environment: C# / Visual Studio 2017, Box.V2 SDK via NuGet, latest version as of today. Company enterprise account of Box.com, I'm the admin.

I've created an "Enterprise Integration" app in Box's developer console, and given it all the privileges available. I set it for "OAuth 2.0 with JWT (Server Authentication)", generated a public/private keypair, and downloaded a JSON of all of it (in the app's executable directory as "BoxAuth.json" (Yes, in my final version, I'll encrypt.)

Trying to follow a quick-start guide here:

https://developer.box.com/docs/authenticate-with-jwt#section-step-2-generate-configuration

So I have this code:

var config = BoxConfig.CreateFromJsonFile(File.OpenRead("BoxAuth.json"));

        var session = new BoxJWTAuth(config);


        //client impersonating "me."
        var user = "***email address removed for privacy***";
        var userToken = session.UserToken(user);
        var userClient = session.UserClient(userToken, user);


        // client with permissions to manage application users
        var adminToken = session.AdminToken();
        var adminClient = session.AdminClient(adminToken);

When I call session.UserClient(userToken, user), I get an exception: "The API returned an error [BadRequest]"

If I comment that line out, I get an identical exception when I call session.AdminClient(adminToken)

Am I missing something obvious?

Thank you all for any insights.

    Hi guys,

    I ran into the same issues, I haven't been able to solve it, but please check out the following link where my question has been answered.

    I have used the CLI, this works like a charm.
    And a plus side, the CLI setup is really well documented and easy to set up.

    I found the issue, mainly by trial and error.

    You have to go back into your account's admin and authorize the app after you've made it.

    Go to 

    https://[yourdomain].app.box.com/master/settings/openbox  

    And look under "Custom Applications."  Add this app with the clientID value in the JWT JSON.  BTW - if you make any changes to the app's permissions, you have to come back here, drop the app, and add it again.

    This looks like my exact problem, but I cant find in my account how to give my custom app permissions.
    When I go to

    https://[yourdomain].app.box.com/master/settings/openbox  

    On that page have 2 buttons. 1 to browse apps or watch demo.

    Click Browse Apps and see ways to search for published apps, but nothing for Custom Applications.

    Could this be an issue with how the organization is setup?
