Reconnecting to Box Add-On Fails with 'Unexpected Error' (Hosted)

Overview

  • In some occasions, the end users might encounter problems downloading files from the box. This is usually resolved by removing the following system property:
    externalStorage.box.accessToken
  • This requires the customer to then go to the Box add-on settings, click on Configure Now and re-enter the Box admin account credentials.
  • In some cases, this last step can fail because of the property externalStorage.box.boxOAuthBaseURL is set to https://api.box.com/oauth2/ which causes an extra slash to be added to oauth2//.
  • This in turn results in a Unexpected error has occurred page to show up on the jive side, being unable to reconfigure the box add-on.
