mc encrypt clear

Syntax

The mc encrypt clear command removes the current default encryption settings for a bucket.

The following command removes the default encryption settings for the mydata bucket on the MinIO deployment associated with the myminio alias:

mc encrypt clear myminio/mydata

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] encrypt clear ALIAS
  • Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.

  • Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.

  • Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Parameters

ALIAS

The full path to the bucket on which to remove the default SSE mode. Specify the alias of the MinIO deployment as the prefix to the ALIAS path. For example:

mc encrypt clear play/mybucket

Global Flags

This command supports any of the global flags.

Examples

Remove the Automatic Server-Side Encryption Settings for a Bucket

 mc encrypt clear myminio/data
mc encrypt clear ALIAS
  • Replace ALIAS with the alias of the MinIO deployment on which to remove automatic server-side bucket encryption.

Behavior

Modifying Bucket Encryption Settings Does Not Affect Encrypted Objects

Disabling automatic bucket encryption does not decrypt any objects in the bucket.

To permanently decrypt objects in the bucket, you can perform an in-place copy after disabling object decryption. For versioned buckets, the previous object versions remain encrypted.

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
