Register a Dropbox Authorization Provider in Token Vault

This topic describes the second configuration task in the process of setting up an AutoStore workflow using modern authentication.

Perform this task in Token Vault after you have successfully registered an application for Token Vault through the Dropbox App Console.

To register an Authorization Provider in Token Vault, perform the following steps:

  1. Launch Token Vault.

    Type the Token Vault URL into the address bar of your browser according to your Token Vault configuration in the following format: https://<FQDN>:<port>

  2. Log in with your Token Vault administrator credentials.
  3. Click Manage Authorization Providers on the left.
    The list of already registered providers is displayed.
  4. Click Register new at the bottom.
  5. Select the Dropbox authorization provider from the list.

    The new Authorization Provider configuration page opens.

    • Token Vault generates this new authorization provider with the New DropBox authorization provider name. Change the default name according to your needs.

      Authorization Provider names must be unique in Token Vault.

    • Provider ID is a unique and automatically generated ID.

      This ID must always be sent by the AutoStore component requesting authentication tokens from Token Vault.

    • The Redirect URI is generated automatically from the currently open Token Vault site URI.

      This URI must be configured for the DropBox application registered for Token Vault.

  6. Copy the generated Provider ID for later use.
    It is required for the configuration of the component.
  7. Enter your App key to the Client ID field, and App secret to the Client Secret field.
    Dropbox App Console provided these parameters during the application registration task.
  8. Click Save.
  9. Click Enable under the Authorization Provider to enable it. To disable the Authorization Provider for users, click Disable.
  10. Click Edit if you want to modify any properties of the Authorization Provider.

At this point Token Vault is connected to DropBox and enabled for users to authorize.
