Modifying the WORM Policy of a Bucket

Prerequisites

• You have obtained the access certificate and security certificate of an activated account.
• A bucket has been created.
• The WORM policy has been configured in the bucket.
• The WORM policy has not been activated after it is configured for a bucket. The WORM policy can be modified within 24 hours. (If the WORM policy has not been activated after 24 hours, the WORM policy automatically becomes invalid.)

Procedure

1. Choose Services > Object Service > Account.
2. Click the name of the desired account and select the Bucket tab.
3. Enter the access certificate and security certificate of the account and click Authenticate.
   

   You can perform authentication on either of the Bucket or User tab page.

4. Click More on the right of the desired bucket and select Manage WORM.

   The Manage WORM dialog box is displayed.

5. Click More on the right of the desired WORM policy and select Modify.
6. Modify the name and protection period of the object as required.
   

   • Wildcard (*) matching is supported, that is, a protection period is set for all objects that match the wildcard. If wildcard (*) is not specified, a protection period is set for a single specific object.
   • You cannot set multiple protection periods for the same object.

     For example, AB* contains all objects whose names start with AB, such as AB, ABC, and AB123. If you have set a protection period for AB*, you cannot set a protection period for any object whose name starts with AB. If you have set a protection period for an object whose name starts with AB, you cannot set a protection period for AB*.

   • The system protects only the objects written after WORM is enabled. Objects written before WORM is enabled are not protected.

7. After the modification is complete, click to confirm the modification.
8. Click Save.
