Once we have created a login experience with Okta we need to have a Box application available that will permit us to use the Box APIs to search for and create users that are associated with the Okta user account.

Set up a Box app

​
Download Required Data

To begin working with the Box SDKs used in this tutorial, you will need the application configuration file from the Configuration page of your application. This will include all information needed to verify your application to start making API requests with the Box SDKs. Within the Add and Manage Public Keys section of the Configuration page, click to Generate a Public/Private Keypair. This will send you through 2FA verification before downloading the configuration file for your application. Store that file as config.json in a location accessible by your application.

​
Summary

  • You created a new, or are using an existing, Box app which is approved by an enterprise admin.
  • You downloaded your application configuration file and stored it in a location accessible by your application.
