Using Box with JWT (Server Authentication)

Question

I using Box API JWT Server Authentication:

        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 the Box exception:

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

enter image description here

You can Authorize New App here: [https://app.box.com/master/custom-apps](https://app.box.com/master/custom-apps) [![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/vWlj4.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/vWlj4.png) — Thức Trần, Apr 08 '20 at 14:30

@kendomen is correct. Here's some more detail:

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

Now this is where it gets funky. Click on the Security step.

Then the fine print.

This gives the tool bar that should have been displayed three steps ago. Click Apps.

Then click on Authorize New App.

This puts up a pop-up where you enter the app key. This is referred to as the "ClientID" in the json file you may have downloaded from Box.com.

There is a slight change in the UI now, it's located under Business Settings (https://monosnap.com/file/1GtysqvkwMh0gWsbpiRYnvswdGPw68.png) – katzmopolitan Feb 09 '18 at 21:44

The admin of Box has to go to Admin Console -> Enterprise Settings -> Apps and authorize your app.
