Configuring a Bucket with MFA Delete

You have the option of enabling MFA Delete at the same time you specify the versioning state of the bucket. Once you configure a bucket so that it is MFA Delete enabled, all future requests to change the versioning state or delete a version require the request header x-amz-mfa: [SerialNumber] [AuthenticationCode]. Note the space between [SerialNumber] and [AuthenticationCode]. Requests that include x-amz-mfa must use HTTPS.

Example Enabling Versioning and MFA Delete

The following request enables versioning and MFA Delete on bucketName.
