How to relink a user (revoke) using the javascript api.
Can anyone show me an example how to use the javascript api to revoke and then let the user re-link to Dropbox?
Greg-DB Thanks for your response. I've tried throwing away the old token, but I've found that my method for asking them to reauthenticate automatically logs them onto the same dropbox account:
dbx.authTokenRevoke();
var dbx = new Dropbox({ clientId: CLIENT_ID });
var authUrl = dbx.getAuthenticationUrl('https://www.open-collector.org/alpha/Admin/Tools/Simulator_SQL/');
document.getElementById('authlink').href = authUrl;
$("#authlink")[0].click();
Is there something I need to change or add to this code to prevent them automatically being authenticated onto the same dropbox account as they were before I revoked the authorisation token?

Dropbox Community ModeratorDepending on your use case, you may want to add the `force_reapprove` or `force_reauthentication` parameters. Please refer to my earlier posts on this thread for more information about those.
Since those aren't implemented in the JavaScript SDK, you'd need to parse and modify the `authUrl` value in this code to add one of those parameters.

Greg-DB Thanks! All I had to do was add "&force_reauthentication=true" to the end of the authUrl generated by the dbx.getAuthenticationUrl function.
