    Step 2: Log on to ossbrowser

    After you run ossbrowser, you can select one of the following logon methods based on the authorization object and access validity period.

    Note

    A proxy may cause a logon attempt to fail. We recommend that you do not log on by using a proxy.

    Log on to ossbrowser by using an AccessKey pair

    If you want to access specific resources in your bucket for a long period of time, you can use the AccessKey pair of an Alibaba Cloud account or a RAM user to log on to ossbrowser.

    ak

    The following table describes the parameters that you can configure when you log on to ossbrowser by using an AccessKey pair.

    Parameter

    Description

    Endpoint

    The endpoint of the region in which the bucket that you want to access is located.

    • Default (Public Cloud): The default endpoint of the region in which the bucket that you want to access is located is used to log on to ossbrowser. If you select this value, you can select HTTPS encryption to encrypt data in transit.

      Important

      For regions that do not support this access method, you can select Customize for Endpoint.

    • Customize: The endpoint of a custom region is used to log on to ossbrowser. Example: oss-cn-wulanchabu.aliyuncs.com. If you select this value, you can specify any OSS endpoint of the region. For more information about regions and its endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

    • cname: A custom domain name is used to access OSS resources. You must map a custom domain name to the bucket that you want to access in advance. For more information, see Map custom domain names. After you map a custom domain name to the bucket, you can use the custom domain name to access the bucket.

    AccessKeyId and AccessKeySecret

    The AccessKey pair of your account. For information about how to obtain an AccessKey pair, see Obtain an AccessKey pair.

    Important

    To ensure data security, we recommend that you log on to ossbrowser by using the AccessKey pair of a RAM user. Before you use the AccessKey pair of a RAM user to log on to ossbrowser, you must attach the following policies to the RAM user: AliyunOSSFullAccess, AliyunRAMFullAccess, and AliyunSTSAssumeRoleAccess. For more information, see Manage permissions.

    Preset OSS Path

    If the current account has permissions to access only a specific bucket or a specific path in a bucket, you must specify this parameter.

    A preset path follows the oss://bucketname/path format. For example, if you are authorized to access only objects or subdirectories in the examplefolder directory of a bucket named examplebucket, enter oss://examplebucket/examplefolder/.

    If the pay-by-requester feature is enabled for the bucket that you are authorized to access, and you are not the bucket owner, select request payer. Otherwise, the AccessDenied error code is returned when you access the resources in the preset path. If you select request payer, you are charged based on the traffic and the number of requests that are generated when you access the resources in the path specified by Preset OSS Path. For more information about the pay-by-requester feature, see Enable pay-by-requester.

    Region

    If you select Default (Public Cloud) for Endpoint, you must specify the region of the bucket in which the resources in the path specified by Preset OSS Path are stored.

    Keep me logged in

    If you select this option, you are automatically logged on the next time you start ossbrowser.

    Remember

    If you select this option, your AccessKey pair used to log on to ossbrowser is saved. The next time you log on to ossbrowser, click AK Histories and select the remembered AccessKey pair instead of entering the AccessKey pair again.

    Warning

    To ensure security, we recommend that you do not select this option if you use a shared computer.

    Log on to ossbrowser by using an authorization code

    You can use an Security Token Service (STS) token to log on to ossbrowser. STS tokens can be provided for other authorized users for temporary access to a directory in your bucket. The STS token automatically becomes invalid after it expires.

    1. Use your AccessKey pair to log on to ossbrowser.

      For more information, see Create an AccessKey pair.

    2. Click the name of the bucket.

    3. Select the directory on which you want to grant temporary access permissions, and choose More > Authorization Token.

      Important

      Authorization token generation is supported only for directories.

    4. Configure the privilege, validity period, and role, and click Generate.

    5. Click Copy to copy the authorization token.

    6. Log out of ossbrowser and use the authorization token to log to ossbrowser.
