We found that the Private Key was in the following format: "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----"
However, the tool was expecting RSA: "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"

We used the following command to convert to the proper format:
openssl rsa -in privatekey.pem -out privatekey_out.pem

Thanks Scott for your response.
I tried both ways - generated the certificate from Box, and then manually created the private PEM file from JSON. Also tried with openssl.
Yes, these were uploaded as documents in Appian exactly as instructed in the document. Still could not make it work. Happy to do a share more details if you need. Thanks again.

How were the PEM files created? Did you have the Box console create them, or follow the "manual" procedure from their docs?
openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem
from (developer.box.com/.../setting-up-a-jwt-app

Then, were these plain text files uploaded as documents into Appian, and then the cons!BOX_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE constant simply contain the ID of the uploaded text file?

Thanks,
Scott
