Abort Vault Lock (DELETE lock-policy)
Description
This operation stops the vault locking process if the vault lock is not in the
Locked
state. If the vault lock is in the Locked
state
when this operation is requested, the operation returns an
AccessDeniedException
error. Stopping the vault locking process removes
the vault lock policy from the specified vault.
A vault lock is put into the InProgress
state by calling Initiate Vault Lock (POST lock-policy). A vault
lock is put into the Locked
state by calling Complete Vault Lock (POST lockId). You can get
the state of a vault lock by calling Get Vault Lock (GET lock-policy). For more information about the vault locking
process, see S3 Glacier Vault Lock. For more
information about vault lock policies, see Vault Lock Policies.
This operation is idempotent. You can successfully invoke this operation multiple
times, if the vault lock is in the InProgress
state or if there is no
policy associated with the vault.
Requests
To delete the vault lock policy, send an HTTP DELETE
request to the URI
of the vault's lock-policy
subresource.

AccountId
/vaults/vaultName

Note
The AccountId
value is the AWS account ID. This value must match the AWS account ID associated with the credentials used to sign the request. You can either specify an AWS account ID or optionally a single '-

If you specify your account ID, do not include any hyphens ('-') in the ID.
