Error description

• The IBM Spectrum Protect Object Agent does not allow Amazon S3
  object keys with trailing '/' forward slash or "\" backward
  slash characters.
  The error the S3 Client sees is an HTTP 400 with a
  message of
  "XMinioInvalidObjectName: Object name contains unsupported
  characters."
  "This issue results from issuing a PUT request with an object
  key with a trailing invalid character.
  
  Example,
  "bucket1/directory1/".
  
  This would typically be a zero byte object used to simulate a
  directory structure and the error is passed back to the calling
  function.
  
  
  
  
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Server Version Affected:
  Version 8.1.11.000 and later on all supported platforms
  
  
  
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  
  
  
  
  
  Additional Keywords:
  #TS005788484 "Object Agent " "XMinioInvalidObjectName: Object
  name contains unsupported characters."
