How to resolve DigitalOcean Spaces 403 forbidden error

If you have been coming across Code: 403 ‘Forbidden’ error in DigitalOcean, you have come to the right place. Our Support Techs have come up with a few resolutions for this specific issue:

• We can try setting the custom headers like Access-Control-Allow-Header, Access-Control-Allow-Origin, and other CORS headers.
• Another option is to disable the chrome security setting with the following code:

  chromium-browser --disable-web-security –user-data-dir="[dir]"
• The last option is to set Bucket’s CORS using API

If the first two troubleshooting tips do not help resolve the issue, the last option will help out.

According to our Support Techs, we can set the Bucket’s CORS via API. The code will look like this:

//This require libraries from npm aws-sdk
import AWS from ‘aws-sdk’methods: {
    fileChange (file) {
      var Endpoint = 'nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com'
      var accessKeyId = '20_Char_of_access_id'
      var secretAccessKey = '43_Char_of_secret_key'
      var Bucket = 'foo' 
      var Key = file[0].name 
      const spaceEndpoint = new AWS.Endpoint(Endpoint)
      //Header initiation in xhr request
      const s3 = new AWS.S3({
        endpoint: spaceEndpoint,
        accessKeyId: accessKeyId,
        secretAccessKey: secretAccessKey
      })
      var params = {
        Bucket: Bucket,
        CORSConfiguration: {
          CORSRules: [{AllowedHeaders: ['*'], AllowedMethods: 
          ['GET', 'PUT', 'POST', 'DELETE', 'HEAD'], AllowedOrigins: 
          ['*'], MaxAgeSeconds: 3000}]}
        }
      }
      //This is where the bucket's cors are set
      s3.putBucketCors(params, function (err, data) {
        if (err) alert(err) // displaying error message
        else {
          alert('success')
        }
      })
    }
  }

Another troubleshooting tip would be to disable the chrome settings and then run the above configuration. However, if you are still running into the 403 error, drop us a line in the chatbox and our Support Engineers will get on it right away.
