Setting Up Box Platform to Work with Axonius

Before connecting Box Platform in Axonius, follow these steps:

Create an Application

The values supplied in Client ID and Box Platform private key configuration file refer to the generated Client ID and private key configuration file of your Custom App.

1. For details on setting up a Custom App using JWT authentication, see Box Guides - Setup with JWT. The following App Scopes (permissions) are required for creating a Custom App:
   • Read and write all files and folders stored in Box
   • Manage groups
   • Manage enterprise properties
   • Manage users

2. Select Configuration from the left sidebar in your application, scroll down to App Access Level, and select App + Enterprise Access. This enables your application to access all users and manage enterprise settings, content, and users.

3. Create a configuration file from the Developer Console. This file will include the keypair as well as a number of other application details that are used during authentication.

   1. Select Configuration from the left sidebar in your application and scroll down to Add and Manage Public Keys.
   2. Click Generate a Public/Private Keypair to have Box generate a keypair. This triggers the download of a JSON configuration file that you can move to your application code.
   3. Upload this file as the Box Platform private key configuration file.

4. To get the Client ID, log into your Box developer console and select Edit Application for the application you're working with.

5. In the OAuth 2.0 Parameters section of the configuration page, find the item labelled client_id. The text of that item is your application's Client ID.
