Having trouble with get/setObjectAcl to ibm cloud object storage service

Question

I am using the ibm-cos-sdk npm to access my IBM Cloud Object Storage instance. I am successfully able to create a bucket, and put objects to it. I now need to set the ACL to public-read. I am having trouble with this part. I call

cos.getBucketAcl({ Bucket })

and get an AccessDenied; same for cos.setBucketAcl({ Bucket, ACL: 'public-read' }). I'm using the same cos variable that succeeds with createBucket and putObject.

I tried to use the aws cli, and only get this error, for any operation: [SSL: UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL] unknown protocol (_ssl.c:590)

thanks, nick

Answer 1

The user or service ID needs the manager role in an IAM policy to make objects publicly visible. You might only have writer access?

That sounds like an SSL bug - I've seen something similar in the vanilla OSX Python installation. You might want to install a different version of Python and try again.
