Hi

We have set up ServerAuthClientCredGrant

 

I have this code

 

        BoxCCGAPIConnection api = BoxCCGAPIConnection.userConnection(clientId, clientSecret, userId);
        System.out.println("-New AccessToken-" + api.getAccessToken());
        System.out.println("-New RefreshToken-" + api.getRefreshToken());

 

The accessToekn has a value but Refresh Token is always null

    Hi

    The server auth methods (CCG and JWT) do not return a refresh token. The getAccessToken() method has refresh logic built in and will refresh the token when required. See http://opensource.box.com/box-java-sdk/javadoc/com/box/sdk/BoxAPIConnection.html#getAccessToken--

    A refresh token is only returned when you exchange an OAuth authorization code for a token/refresh token pair
