Use custom domain names - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

After you upload objects to a bucket, Object Storage Service (OSS) automatically generates URLs for the uploaded objects. You can use these URLs to access the objects. If you want to access the objects by using custom domain names, map the custom domain names to the buckets in which the objects are stored and add CNAME records for the custom domain names.

Prerequisites

A custom domain name is bound to the bucket. For more information, see Map custom domain names.

Usage notes

When you use packaging tools such as Webpack and Browserify, install OSS SDK for Browser.js by running the npm install ali-oss command.
If you want to access an OSS bucket from a browser but no CORS rules are configured for the bucket, the browser rejects the request. Therefore, you must configure CORS rules for a bucket if you want to access the bucket from a browser. For more information, see Installation.
In most cases, OSS SDK for Browser.js is used in browsers. To prevent your AccessKey pair from being exposed, we recommend that you use temporary access credentials obtained from Security Token Service (STS) to access OSS.
The temporary access credentials consist of an AccessKey pair and a security token. The AccessKey pair consists of an AccessKey ID and an AccessKey secret. For more information about how to obtain temporary access credentials, see Use STS for temporary access authorization.

Sample code

The following code provides an example on how to initialize a custom domain name:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Document</title>
    <script src="https://gosspublic.alicdn.com/aliyun-oss-sdk-6.18.0.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <script>
      const client = new OSS({
        // Enter a custom domain name. Example: example.com. 
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to oss-cn-hangzhou.
        region: 'yourRegion',
        endpoint: "example.com",
        authorizationV4: true,
        // Specify the temporary AccessKey pair obtained from Security Token Service (STS). The AccessKey pair consists of an AccessKey ID and an AccessKey secret. 
        accessKeyId: "yourAccessKeyId",
        accessKeySecret: "yourAccessKeySecret",
        // Specify the security token obtained from STS. 
        stsToken: 'yourSecurityToken',
        // Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
        bucket: "examplebucket",
        cname: true,
      });    
          
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Important

Custom domain names cannot be used to call the list_buckets operation.
