I am using REST snaps to connect to and perform functionality in Box that are not available via Box Snaps. I am having trouble establishing my OAuth2 account. I have my ‘application’ setup in Box to connect to and have the client ID and secret all setup as well as the redirect URI to go to https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest. When I try to authorize in the account creation in SnapLogic, I get prompted as expected by Box but am then redirected to a SnapLogic error after logging in. The error details state: “Unable to decrypt property ‘$.settings.client_id’ with key: account-autogen” “400 Bad Request” Any ideas?

WRT to “Disabled by Administrator”, what’s likely happened is your Box administrator at your enterprise has switched to a whitelisted-only form of application permissioning. You’ll need to get the client id of the SnapLogic app added by your admin.

Hi @Jyoti_Khatanhar, I would recommend reaching out to your TAM and ask them to provide it.

jposey: prompted as expected by Box but am then redirected to a SnapLogic error after logging In Box: Configuration > OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI = https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest Integration > Web App Integration > Client Callback URL = https://elastic.snaplogic.com:443/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/Box/Utilities/shared/Box%20Application%20YourDemo%20Task?bearer_token=[your Authorization Token] In Snaplogic: OAuth2 Endpoint: Box - Free Online File Storage, Internet File Sharing, Access Documents & Files Anywhere, Backup Data, Share Files OAuth2 Token: https://www.box.com/api/oauth2/token Hope this help!

Thank you for the response. I am new to the concept of the Box Integration and am curious if this is necessary. The error I am receiving is while trying to create/authorize a new REST OAuth2 Account in SnapLogic to use when calling Box APIs via the REST Snaps. Is your response indicating that I need to create a task for my pipeline in order to get the URL and bearer token for the web integration setup? I would like to be able to create the account and run it locally in SnapLogic prior to moving on to the task creation. Thanks, Jason

No it isn’t necessary but just in case you want to.

In Box:
Configuration > OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI = https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest

Integration > Web App Integration > Client Callback URL = https://elastic.snaplogic.com:443/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/Box/Utilities/shared/Box%20Application%20YourDemo%20Task?bearer_token=[your Authorization Token]

In Snaplogic:

OAuth2 Endpoint: Box - Free Online File Storage, Internet File Sharing, Access Documents & Files Anywhere, Backup Data, Share Files
OAuth2 Token: https://www.box.com/api/oauth2/token

Hope this help!

When clicking “Authorize” when creating/editing the user in SnapLogic, I do see the page you included. When I click “Grant access to Box” I am redirected to the URL, https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest which includes a “state” parameter and a “code” parameter. However, the page displays this error below.

{“query_string”: “state=hostname%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Felastic.snaplogic.com%2Cinstance_id%#############################################&code=##################################”, “path”: “/api/1/rest/admin/oauth2callback/rest”, “response_map”: {“error_list”: [{“message”: “Unable to decrypt property ‘$.settings.client_id’ with key: account-autogen”}]}, “http_status”: “400 Bad Request”, “http_status_code”: 400}

Thanks again for your time and insight!

@jposey, I’m curious, what use case are you trying to enable?

It is NOT fully tested nor feature complete, but I’ve been dabbling on a new Box snap pack to enable more of their API (with 136 snaps!!). I also implemented Box’s JWT account authentication, which allows you to authenticate as either a service account or as an “App User”. If you want to experiment with this let me know (although FYI I’m extremely busy the next two weeks so you may have to prod me).

I’ll also be at Box Works in the late morning and afternoon tomorrow if you’re attending that!

  At a high-level, I am trying to upload documents to Box and populate a Box metadata template with values specific to the documents. Box Snaps allow me to upload the document and obtain the Box file ID, but I am having to leverage the Box APIs in order to do the metadata components.
  
  Have you been able to successfully create an oAuth account do leverage within the REST snaps with Box? If so, I’d be interested in if you’ve seen issues similar to what I have asking about in this thread.

    Sorry, no I don’t need to use the REST snaps with Box. 😑

For those that have used SnapLogic Box snaps, I have a question about the configuration in Box necessary to be able to create a “Box Account” through SnapLogic. The screens below show that I am choosing to create a “box.com” account in SnapLogic. When entering info and clicking “authorize” I get the error on the second screen.

    Thanks for the feedback. Where do I obtain the client ID of SnapLogic?
