Box for IBM Connections integration guide and steps


Tags :


IBM announced some time ago the integration between Box and IBM Connections. I happened to find an online guide to setting up the connections via the Box website. In summary:
IBM and Box integration

  • Download the widget XML and Javascript from Box
  • Host both on a web server that requires Dojo. Luckily the IBM HTTP Server does this via IBM Connections
  • Update the widget XML with the particulars for your IBM Connections Community
  • Restart Profiles and Communities inside of IBM Connections management screens
  • Add the widget to the Community in IBM Connections
  • Log in with your Box credentials (which means yes everyone needs a Box account too
You can set this up to a specific folder or give a user access to their root folder so they can get to all their files.

The entire document, with screenshots, can be found for viewing or donwload on the Box website right here.
