Locking an Outbound Connector

Lock a File Storage outbound connector to prevent updates, moves, and deletions. Locks help protect resources against tampering.

Important

A lock on an outbound connector resource doesn't prevent the outbound connector from being used by a mount target to communicate with the external server.

OCI resource locks include the following types:

  • Delete lock: Prevents deletion of the locked resource.
  • Full lock: Prevents update, move, and deletion of the locked resource.

You can only add or remove one lock type at a time, but both locks can be applied to a resource. For example, you might initially apply a delete lock, but choose to apply a full lock at a later time.

The user who places a lock is the lock owner. Any authorized user with lock privilege or users with global manage permission of the tenancy has the authorization to create and remove any lock in the tenancy. You can override or remove locks.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. Click File Storage.

    3. In the List scope section, under Compartment, select a compartment.
    4. In the list of outbound connectors, click the name of the outbound connector that you want to lock.

    6. In the Add Lock window, select the lock type and click Save changes.

  • Use the oci fs outbound-connector add command and required parameters to lock an outbound connector:

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
