undelete accounts

[John Dickinson]

add a utility to undelete accounts, as described in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_reaper.html

[HCLTech-SSW (hcltech-ssw)]

After analyzing this issue, we found that there is no command/client module is implemented to undelete the account. Our question is, From where and how the account gets deleted, so that the need of undelete it arises?

[John Dickinson (notmyname)]

Accounts are deleted by (1) having a "reseller admin" level auth token (2) sending a DELETE to a proxy server for the account to be deleted and (3) that proxy server having the "allow account management" config option set to true

Thanks for the reply.

As explained, to delete a swift account using admin user added in reseller_admin group.

We have executed the below set of commands:

a) Issue the GET request to get the authentication token for the admin user, using the following command.
   curl -v -H 'X-Storage-User: admin:admin' -H 'X-Storage-Pass: admin' http://<ip address>:8080/auth/v1.0

Output is X-Auth-Token.

b) Issue the delete request for the specific account by passing the account storage URL.
   curl -X DELETE -H 'X-Auth-Token: AUTH_tkc8010f55d80241b2851ea4eba29f6b8b' http://<ip address>:8080/v1/AUTH_<Name of the account to be deleted.>

There is No Output from this command, but the account get deleted.

c) To verify the deleted account:
   swift -A http://<ip address>:8080/auth/v1.0 -U test6:tester6 -K testing6 stat

Output is:
Account HEAD failed: http://<ip address>:8080/v1/AUTH_test6 410 Gone
Failed Transaction ID: txa76f8f502cf44b678cae2-0059b62c4a

After analyzing this issue we will start looking over to create utility to undelete the deleted account.
