Login from box cli on cmd only linux machine

can anyone please verify that it is not supposed to be used on “no ui” linux environments?

Hi @a.ahmadzada1998 ,

During the OAuth 2.0 flow, users are redirected to their browser to authenticate and then authorize the application to take actions on their behalf.

So unfortunately UI is required here and without it, the OAuth authorization process is not possible. https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/quick-start/install-and-configure/

Hi again @a.ahmadzada1998,

I want to clarify one thing. To authenticate using boxcli, you can use a method other than OAuth. The CLI also supports JWT and CCG, which work just as efficiently as OAuth and do not require a UI.

Here is a description of how to configure box cli using JWT: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/cli-docs/jwt-cli/.

Additionally, I recommend also reviewing this documentation: https://github.com/box/boxcli/blob/main/docs/authentication.md, where all authentication methods are described.

I hope this helps you!

Regards,

Artur
