Howto connect rclone to seafile using library api token

Help and Support
1

Hi!

I am struggling to setup rclone with seafile using the library api-token. The documentation suggests that this should be possible. I tried with both the "app-name" and "generated-by" as 'user' and the "api_token" as 'password'. Instead of the library name I supplied the "repo-id" for 'library' (all taken from the seafile-api-call api/v2.1/repos/<repo-id>/repo-api-tokens/

The error, when I do a simple "ls", suggests that I supplied the wrong fields or a wrong combination:

rclone ls <connection-name>:

and got

Failed to create file system for "<connection-name>:": Unable to login with provided credentials.

Has anyone managed to do what I am trying?

Thanks for reading!

please reedit that post, to redact/remove sensitive info such as pass and library.

@creativeprojects do you have any ideas here?

Can maybe someone tell me how to use this option: --seafile-auth-token ? I suppose it lets me supply an auth token.

Thanks!

That is the auth token and expiry all wrapped up in a JSON blob.

I think it might be best if you open a new issue on Github about this and I'll tag the author of the backend there for you.

Sorry I missed that :roll_eyes:

Authentication via API token doesn't work. We need to rebuild a new backend with a different API.
