I’m running the latest beta Duplicati on Linux Mint 18.
I have several backup sets working fine that point to backends that don’t require an AuthId (i.e. mega, webdav, B2)
I tried to configure 2 separate backup sets to different backends that require an AuthId as the authorization.
Both of them failed with the following error after several seconds/minutes of waiting while testing the connection:
```
Failed to connect: Failed to authorize using the OAuth service: GetResponse timed out. If the problem persists, try generating a new authid token from: https://duplicati-oauth-handler.appspot.com?type=box.com
```
That one was for box; a similar error happened for Hubic.
I tried generating several new authid tokens and that didn’t help.
I’d like to use these backends, but I’m stuck trying to authorize to the backends. Any ideas?

I set up a [box.com](http://box.com) AuthID for testing at some point within the last 2 days, when did yours fail?
Is it possible you’re running into the issue resolved by adding the `--accept-any-ssl-certificate=true` parameter?

Mine has failed today and the past 2-3 days straight.
When I add the accept any ssl cert option, that’s when I get the error previously indicated.
When I don’t use the accept any ssl cert option, I get the same error.
Here is what is in the logs:
```

This started working for me on Oct. 28/17 and I changed nothing. So, was this a server issue with the Duplicati oauth server?

The service is hosted on Google App Engine, so I have little control over it, but since it is hosted by Google, it is pretty stable. I do not see any abnormal amount of errors in the last 7 days.
If you want me to look into it, you can send me your IP in a PM and I can search the server logs to see if the requests made it into GAE.
