Hello,

 I have a desktop application built using .net c# - I need to allow users to connect to Box via my UI screen. For this I need to provide the user with some login screen where the user enters his box login credentials and then I authenticate and do the next processing.

Do I need to use SSO for this scenario?. either case how to go about designing this.

As I read about Auth types, I think I need to use OAuth2.0; if that is the one that then can I use that with the SSO or username/password. If you can give me some high level pointers with all these it would be helpful. I also like to know if there are any samples in .net or videos that explains it in detail. 
Thanks in advance.

    Hi , you would need to use the Oauth 2.0 authentication for your integration, you can use the .NET SDK generate the authorization url, prompt the user to authenticate (with or without SSO, as setup for your enterprise). Exchange the code for users Access (and Refresh) tokens which can be used to authenticating your API's.
