Object Lock on Buckets With the Wasabi S3 API

Wasabi supports an object lock that prevents the deletion or overwrite of object versions for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely.

Tag	Description
ObjectLockConfiguration	This is the mandatory root-level tag for object lock configuration.
ObjectLockEnabled	This tag must be configured as Enabled.
Rule	This specifies the object lock rule for a bucket. It requires both a mode and a period. The period can be either Days or Years, but you must select one. You cannot specify Days and Years at the same time. The mode should be either COMPLIANCE or GOVERNANCE.

The object lock settings for a bucket are specified using the “?object-lock” query string along with the object lock settings as the XML body in the request. For example:

PUT https://s3.wasabisys.com/qa.objectlock.002/?object-lock HTTP/1.1
<ObjectLockConfiguration>
     <ObjectLockEnabled>Enabled</ObjectLockEnabled>
     <Rule>
          <DefaultRetention>
               <Mode>COMPLIANCE</Mode>
               <Days>10</Days>
          </DefaultRetention>
     </Rule>
</ObjectLockConfiguration>

The object lock settings for a bucket can be retrieved by getting the bucket with the “?object-lock” query string. For example:

GET https://s3.wasabisys.com/qa.objectlock.002/?object-lock HTTP/1.1

Response body:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ObjectLockConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
     <ObjectLockEnabled>Enabled</ObjectLockEnabled>
     <Rule>
          <DefaultRetention>
               <Mode>COMPLIANCE</Mode>
               <Days>10</Days>
          </DefaultRetention>
     </Rule>
</ObjectLockConfiguration>

There are also object lock settings for each object described in Operations on Objects.

The object lock settings for a bucket can be cleared using "?object-lock" query string. For example:

PUT https://s3.wasabisys.com/qa.objectlock.002/?object-lock HTTP/1.1

Response body:

<ObjectLockConfiguration>
     <ObjectLockEnabled>Enabled</ObjectLockEnabled>
          <Rule>
               <DefaultRetention>
                    <Mode></Mode>
                    <Days></Days>
          </DefaultRetention>
     </Rule>
</ObjectLockConfiguration>
