## Creating a Box application to integrate Box with IBM Content Navigator server 

To integrate IBM Content Navigator with Box, you must create a Box application. This application is used as the bridge between IBM Content Navigator and Box, and to a large degree is invisible to users. The only time the users are aware of this bridge is the first time that they access the Box repository from IBM Content Navigator. They are prompted for their Box credentials to authorize this application to access their Box environment. 

To create a Box application to integrate Box with the IBM Content Navigation server, complete the following steps: 

Go to https://developers.box.com/, select Apps, and log in. 1. 

Click My Apps, and then click Create a Box Application. 2. 

In the Application Name field, enter a meaningful name that represents this application usage. (If 3. prompted for an application type, select Box Content.) 

Click Create Application. 4. 

In the General Information window, under OAuth2 Parameters, set the redirect_uri  parameter to 5. match the URL of your IBM Content Navigator server, https://hostname:port/navigator/jaxrs/oauth2/client_id, where client_id  is the OAuth2 client_id that is shown in the OAuth2 Parameters area of this Box application. The URI must be HTTPS (it can be only http for either localhost  or 127.0.0.1  and for development purposes only). This URI is used by IBM Content Navigator to perform authentication actions when accessing the Box repository. If you use a high availability/load-balanced environment, this URI should be the primary common URI that is used to access the IBM Content Navigator environment. 

The host name format in this URL must match the host name format that is used in the browser address URL and the host name in the server’s SSL certificate (either all occurrences use the short name or all use the fully qualified DNS name). 

Select Standard 3-legged authentication and allow Read write all files (where required). 6. 

Scroll to the bottom of the window and click Save Application to save your changes. 7.
