SeaDrive: Cannot login via SSO in Linux (Gnome/Wayland)

SeaDrive
1

Hi,

I am testing using SeaDrive with the latest Debian Linux using Gnome. After i install the latest version of SeaDrive for Linux, in the Add Account screen i select Single Sign On. This opens a smaller window where i type in the address of the Seafile server and then a small browser window appear that has a blank white screen. This is supposed to show the SSO webpage but for some unknown reason on Gnome (or Wayland) built-in web browser cannot load the SSO page, thus i am not able to pass the login.

This works in windows, which i guess has a different underlying browser which loads the page.

Is there a way to bypass that or use an alternative way to login via SSO in Gnome?

I have also tested with a KDE environment with the same result as they both use Wayland as their backend.

Thanks

You can set the below option to true in seahub_settings.py:

CLIENT_SSO_VIA_LOCAL_BROWSER = True

This will ask the client to use local browser on your computer.

Refer to seahub_settings.py - Seafile Admin Manual

This doesn’t work on Ubuntu 24.04..
It works on windows though

It may be due to some special problem on your computer. You can have a look at seadrive-gui.log. Which version of SeaDrive do you use?
