Logging In to OBS Browser+

OBS Browser+ supports AK-based login.

If a proxy is required to access your network environment, click More > Settings > Network on the login page to set the proxy before login.

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.

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.

Where Can I Obtain Access Keys (AK and SK)?

Access Path

No

You can enter a frequently used path in the text box, so that you will be direct 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.
