(DataFlex) Box.com OAuth2 with JSON Web Tokens

See more Box Examples

Demonstrates how to obtain an OAuth2 access token using a JSON Web Token. The following explanation is copied from Box Authentication Models

OAuth2 with JSON Web Tokens enables an application to connect directly to Box and obtain authorization to access files and folders without requiring users to log in. Using OAuth2 with JSON Web Tokens an application can provide Box features without users even being aware that Box exists.

Instead of requiring the user to log in to Box, the application generates JSON Web Token (JWT) verified by an RSA keypair. If this authentication succeeds then the application obtains an access token that grants authorization to operate on Box files and folders. This machine-to-machine authentication replaces the first leg of the three-legged authentication process defined by OAuth2, and enables users of your application to work with Box content without seeing Box login requests.

OAuth2 with JSON Web Tokens is designed to be used with Box Platform. You can use OAuth2 with JWT with both Service Accounts and App Users.
