Logging In to OBS Browser+

OBS Browser+ supports login using a permanent AK, account, and authorization code.

If a proxy is required for access, choose More > Settings > Network on the login page to configure the proxy before login.
OBS Browser+ does not support login using a temporary AK/SK pair and a security token.

Permanent AK Login

In AK-based login mode, access keys (AK and SK) are used for login authentication. You need to enter the AK and SK for login.

To access OBS using access keys as an IAM user, the programmatic access must be enabled by the account. For details, see Viewing or Modifying IAM User Information.

**Table 1** Login parameters
Parameter	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
Account Name	Yes	Account names are used to differentiate login accounts of OBS Browser+, which do not have to be the same as your cloud service account.
Service	Yes	Support for the default HUAWEI CLOUD OBS or other object storage services compatible with HUAWEI CLOUD OBS. HUAWEI CLOUD OBS (default): Selecting this option allows operations on buckets in all regions available on HUAWEI CLOUD. Other object storage services: With this option selected, you need to specify the corresponding service address (endpoint of the object storage service), either the global or regional domain name.
Access Key ID & Secret Access Key	Yes	AK login leverages the access key authentication mechanism of IAM. You can click Obtain Access Keys on the login page to jump to the IAM console and create access keys. More information about access keys (AK and SK) is provided as follows: An access key ID (AK) defines a user that accesses the OBS system. An AK belongs to only one user, but one user can have multiple AKs. OBS identifies users through access key IDs. A secret access key (SK) is the key used by users to access OBS. It is the authentication information generated based on the AK and the request header. An SK matches an AK, and they group into a pair. How Do I Obtain Access Keys?
Access Path	No	You can enter a frequently used path in the text box, so that you will be directed to the path upon login. Example: obs://bucketName/folder01/
Remember my access keys	No	If you select this option, the access keys (both AK and SK) are saved. You do not need to enter the access keys upon next login. To avoid account information leakage, deselect this option on a temporary computer.

OBS Browser+ can keep the login information of up to 100 accounts.
If a proxy is required to access your network environment, configure the network proxy before login.

Account Login

You can also use your cloud account and password for login. In this login mode, you only need to enter the registered cloud account name, IAM user name, and password, relieving you from the troubles of recording the complex access keys.

Login with account varies depending on the account type. Before login, check whether you are using a Huawei Cloud account, a Huawei ID, or an account of a service provider.

To find out the differences between account types, visit relationships between accounts. You can also log in to the Huawei Cloud console to check the account type you are using.
