[First post – please bear with me.]



Box recently sent me a notice about deprecating some SSL protocols.



Legacy SSL Ciphers Deprecation



The suggestion is to use “api-test(.)box(.)com” instead of the normal “api(.)box(.)com” to test whether you need to make security changes to your app. The problem I’m facing is I use the BOX SDK v.2 (with C#) which has “api(.)box(.)com” hardcoded in the library so I can’t change it to use the testing URL.



pThe (.) is to get around the new user 1 link only restrictions.]



Any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more info.



thanks,

Hey there, welcome to the forum!



I’m not familiar with the C# SDK, so I can’t build you a sample, but you should be able to set a custom base url for the API.



From the SDK documentation:



var customUri = new Uri("https://custom-api-url.com");





var boxConfig = new BoxConfigBuilder("clientID", "clientSecret")


    .SetBoxApiHostUri(customUri)


    .Build();






Let us know if this helps.



Cheers

Thanks for the reply!



I had to massage my code a little to use the BoxConfigBuilder vs my static call BoxConfig.CreateFromJsonString(tokendata) but I got it to compile. It works with both the base and the testing API URL, so I guess I’m good to go (at least on my development computer). I’ll need to check the SSL/TLS configuration on the production server just to be sure.



Thanks for the help!
