# Box

You can use the Box connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Box and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Box Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Box, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Box** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Box connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Box

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

CData Sync supports authenticating to Box in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**OAuth**](#oauth) (default)
* [**OAuthJWT**](#oauth-jwt)

### OAuth

CData Sync provides an embedded OAuth application with which to connect. To use the application, select **OAuth** for **Auth Scheme**. No additional properties are required.

### OAuth JWT

To connect with a Box account, specify the following properties:

<ul><li>**Auth Scheme:** Select **OAuthJWT**.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Id:** Enter the client Id that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li>
<li>**OAuth Client Secret:** Enter the client secret that you were assigned when you registered your application with an OAuth authorization server.</li>
<li>**Scope:** Enter the scope of your access to the application.</li>
<li>**OAuth JWT Cert:** Enter your Java web tokens (JWT) certificate store.</li>
<li>**OAuth JWT Cert Type:** Enter the type of key store that contains your JWT certificate. The default type is **PEMKEY\_BLOB**.</li>
<li>**OAuth JWT Issuer:** Enter the issuer of your Java web token. Typically, the issuer is either the client Id or the email address of the OAuth application.</li>
<li>(Optional) **OAuth JWT Cert Subject:** Enter the subject of your OAuth JWT certificate.</li>
<li>(Optional) **OAuth JWT Subject:** Enter the user subject for which the application is requesting delegated access.</li>
<li>(Optional) **OAuth JWT Subject Type:** Select the subject type (**enterprise** or **user**) for the JWT authentication. The default type is **enterprise**.</li>
<li>(Optional) **OAuth JWT Public Key Id:** Enter the Id of the public key for JWT.</li></ul>

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
2. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
