Testing Legacy SSL Ciphers Deprecation

R

[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.


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


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


thanks,

randy

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!
