Visit http://enabled.box.net and register a developer account. You can then navigate to My projects, and create a new one. For all the settings, Moodle doesn't care what you put in '''except''' for the callback url, which should be $CFG->wwwroot/portfolio/add.php?postcontrol=1. Box.net will append the relevant authentication tokens to the url (detecting it already contains ? and everything already)
In order to use the Box.net portfolio, your Moodle site must use HTTPS. In addition, an administrator must obtain a Box.net client ID and secret, as described in [[Box.net APIv1 migration]]. The client ID and secret can then be used to configure all Box.net plugins.
