    Box.com V2 Connector Configuration Reference

    Table of Contents

    The Box connector retrieves data from a Box.com cloud-based data repository. To fetch content from multiple Box users, you must create a Box app that uses OAuth 2.0 with JWT server authentication. For limited testing using a single user account, you can create a Box app that uses Standard OAuth 2.0 authentication.

    Remote connectors

    V2 connectors support running remotely in Fusion versions 5.7.1 and later. Refer to Configure Remote V2 Connectors.

    Configuration

    When entering configuration values in the UI, use unescaped characters, such as \t for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use escaped characters, such as \\t for the tab character.

    Connector for Box.com. This connector can work in one of two ways: 1) It can crawl a single user's files (and files shared with that user) using OAuth, or 2) It supports a JWT Service account method that will crawl all users in an enterprise using Box.com's "As-User" header to simulate each user. For large distributed accounts, JWT Service Account is recommended. Otherwise you need to explicitly provide a single user access to every file you want to crawl.
