	Once Seafile can authenticate against LDAP, integration can be configured with two different methods:			Once Seafile can authenticate against LDAP, integration can be configured with two different methods:

	1. Using Seafile as the sole storage mechanism;			1. Using Seafile as an add-on to the existing storage.
	2. Using Seafile as an add-on to the existing storage.			2. Configure Seafile as pre-defined storage

	The first method has the advantage of being set by default for all users, but it depends on the Seafile instance being always accessible. The second still relies on Kolab core components and is easier to set up, but requires users to manually add their Seafile storage.

	The next time you will try to access files in Roundcube, Kolab will attempt to authenticate with Seafile with the same username / password combination as your account and use Seafile as storage. In case of errors, change ``fileapi_seafile_debug`` to ``true`` and inspect Roundcube logs.			An additional step is required to access Seafile, that is, Chwala needs to be made aware of the additional storage. Access your Roundcube webmail and go to the Files component. Click on the gearbox icon and select Add additional storage. Fill in all the necessary details and click on OK. A new ``Seafile`` folder will be made available, pointing at your Seafile library.

				Configure Seafile as pre-defined storage
				~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Using Seafile as an add-on to the existing Kolab storage			.. note:: In a previous version of this howto, it was sugested to change the ``fileapi_backend`` to ``seafilea``. This is no longer working and generates additional issues, like ignoring kolab's folder caching mechanics.
	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

	Edit ``/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php`` as above, adding these lines:			If you want to pre-define/configure for all our users you can configure a list of pre-defined sources. This can be your sole seafile instances or multiple private and public sources. For mor informations please check out the available `configuration <https://git.kolab.org/diffusion/C/browse/master/config/config.inc.php.dist>`_ options.

				If you want to disable the usage of Kolab's default storage, where your files are stored within the imap backend, you can disable it at all using the following option.
