  • Current process: use the Box SDK in python (utilizing JWT - JWT is non negotiable no oath) to get token to move box files securely from source to target using third party software.
  • JWT I have access and permission to JWT config.json file for server to server enterprise level permissions.
  • Issue - the python is on a on prem linux server which I must decommission.

Options:

  1. CLI using Box CLI on my local drive I am able to call box tokens:get and get token. Where do I install CLI for network access? Also how does CLI handle paths to file that is protected?
  2. Powershell - the third party software I use has a powershell option for custom scripting - any suggestions on using this method to get token using JWT auth?
  3. Other suggestions - Thanks
