status and use/fulness of the geoloc: attribute
by Wilfried Woeber 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Dear DB-Folks, in preparation for the upcoming WG Meeting in Amsterdam, and following up on dicussions during the previous one, I'd like to start the review and discussion on the geoloc: attribute in IPv4 and IPv6 inetnum objects. To get things going I'd like to solicit input from people and entities who/which have populated objects, and those making use of the information. What was your experience? Is this stuff useful? On a more general basis I'd like the community to review the current (sort of experimental) functionality and comment on the problems - if any - or suggest improvements! At the same time I am asking the NCC to provide us with some insight on the current use of this attribute. Thanks, Wilfried.

Update of mntner object with mixed authentication
by Alexander Gall 29 Aug '12

I'm trying to update the "shared" 6to4 anycast-relay maintainer object RFC3068-MNT. My own authentication for the object is PGP. But how the heck do I get a full copy of the object including the other people's MD5 hashes if I don't have a password myself? Puzzled, -- Alex

Deprecation of DOMAIN object attributes
by Denis Walker 21 Aug '12

21 Aug '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, At RIPE 62, the RIPE NCC was asked to look at the attributes in DOMAIN objects. A suggestion was put forward to deprecate the following attributes: mnt-lower: sub-dom: dom-net: refer: These were considered to be of no use after the removal of forward domain data and no longer allowing hierarchical, reverse delegation data. The RIPE NCC is now removing these attributes from the syntax. It will no longer be possible to create objects with these attributes. To modify objects already containing them, these attributes will need to be removed. As a follow up the RIPE NCC will "clean" the reverse delegation and ENUM DOMAIN object data to remove these attributes. The web forms for both updates and queries will also have these attributes removed. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

New delegation checking software
by Anand Buddhdev 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, Tomorrow, 8 August 2012, the RIPE NCC will deploy a change to the RIPE Database update software. As part of this deployment, we will switch to a new DNS delegation checker, developed by .SE, the Swedish domain name registry. This change should not have any impact on the process of registering a reverse DNS delegation in the RIPE Database. However, the informational and diagnostic messages this software returns will look different from the ones you have been seeing so far. There should be no noticeable outage in any of the services during this deployment. There will be no change to any other parts of the RIPE Database update or query software with this deployment. Along with these changes to the back-end software, the RIPE NCC will also update the web-based delegation checker at: http://www.ripe.net/data-tools/dns This new web-based delegation checker will use the same software as the back-end. We will send another announcement after we have deployed this new software. If you have any questions or comments, please send an email to <dns(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC

Support for SHA256 in ds-rdata checker
by Alexander Gall 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

I'm not sure whether this belongs here or in the dns-wg (or somewhere else?). I just updated the ds-rdata of one of our domain objects and realized that the RDNS checker does not support SHA-256, neither for the DS record nor as part of signature algorithm 8 (RSASHA256) ***RDNS: (related to set) INFO: 6199 8 2 03A50B02CC5FCBCC8071AD93212C923E8C399DE64AE7C042442E2DE2F0029592 ; uses a Digest type that is not implemented by this checker. We cannot verify if the chain of trust is intact. You should be conciously using digest types other than SHA1 ***RDNS: (related to ns2.switch.ch) INFO: The signature over DNSKEY is made with algorithm code 8 The checker does not implement this algorithm and can therefore not validate the chain of trust It is assumed that using algoritm type 8 is a conscious choice. SHA256 has been in use for both purposes for a number of years. Are there any plans to support it in the RDNS checker?

Syntax of the "nserver:" Attribute in Domain Objects
by Anand Buddhdev 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, Following on from the removal of the forward DOMAIN objects from the RIPE Database, all DOMAIN objects are now used for either reverse DNS or ENUM delegations. For both these cases, the "nserver:" attribute is required. Currently this attribute is optional and there are many objects in the RIPE Database that do not have any "nserver:" attributes. These objects are ignored by the DNS provisioning service, because they have no operational value. The RIPE NCC proposes to make the "nserver:" attribute mandatory in DOMAIN objects and delete any objects from the RIPE Database that do not have this attribute. To simplify the parsing of DOMAIN objects, the RIPE NCC also proposes to deprecate the list option on the "nserver:" attribute (a list, when used in combination with end-of-line comments and continuation lines, is very complex to parse). This means adding multiple name servers to a single attribute will no longer be allowed. For example, an attribute currently formatted as: nserver: ns1.example.com ns2.example.net will have to be rewritten as: nserver: ns1.example.com nserver: ns2.example.net If glue records are required, they would be written like this: nserver: ns1.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa 192.0.2.1 nserver: ns1.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa 2001:db8::1 nserver: ns2.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa 192.0.2.2 nserver: ns2.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa 2001:db8::2 There are a number of domain objects in the RIPE Database which use the list feature, and list multiple name servers in a single "nserver:" attribute. As part of this syntax change, we would update these objects to use the new syntax. This would not affect DNS delegation in any way. This message has been sent to both the DNS and Database working groups, but we ask that discussion of this matter be kept on the DNS WG mailing list. Regards, Anand Buddhdev RIPE NCC

Deprecation of DBConstat service
by Denis Walker 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC has carried out a thorough review of DBConstat, a service to check consistency of data in the RIPE Database and produce statistics. It was written over ten years ago and has changed little over that period. The current software is unmaintainable now. The results of this review are published on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/review-of-dbconstat The review showed that this service produces a series of almost flat line graphs and provides an interactive service barely used by anyone and resulting in no significant improvement in data quality in the RIPE Database. The RIPE NCC believes this is not the way to address the few outstanding inconsistencies reported by this service. We therefore intend to deprecate this service, then investigate and address the remaining inconsistencies using other methods, as discussed in the article on RIPE Labs. If anyone has any concerns about this service, please reply to the mailing list within the next two weeks. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

Database Updates service disruptions
by Kaveh Ranjbar 30 Jun '12

30 Jun '12

Dear Colleagues, RIPE Database sync updates, web-updates and API updates are not responding at the moment. We are dealing with hardware problems on the machines used for the database update cluster. The service was affected from from 07:58 CET (05:58 UTC) and we are working to recover it as soon as possible. Queries will keep working and updates via emails are queued and will be processed as soon as the service is up. We will send an update message as soon as the service is up or when we have an estimate on how long it takes to fix the problem. Kind Regards, Kaveh Ranjbar RIPE NCC Database Group Manager

MD5 Hashes in the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 23 May '12

23 May '12

Dear colleagues, It was clear from the discussions at RIPE 64 that we need to change the initial implementation of hiding the hashes for MD5 passwords in MNTNER objects. A suggestion was made to keep the "auth:" attributes in place. If the authentication token is an MD5 password we will remove the hash value. All PGP and X.509 values will remain unchanged. We have already worked on this and a sample MNTNER object would look like the object below. We can deploy this change within the next two weeks.

Hello all, Below you can find the announcement from the IESG on the formation of the IETF Web Extensible Internet Registration Data Service (WEIRDS) Working Group. The aim of the working group is to work on a unified whois request-and-response format based on the web technologies. If you find the subject interesting, please kindly participate in discussions using the pointers in the original announcement. The RIPE NCC will do its best to make sure requirements and current practices of our community are reflected in the discussions but your direct participation is really appreciated.

Scheduled Maintenance on RIPE Database Update Server - 10 May, at 14:00 UTC
by Denis Walker 08 May '12

08 May '12

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, On Thursday, 10 May at 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST), we will migrate the update service to a new server as part of our RIPE Database infrastructure upgrade. We expect the migration to take up to four hours. Part of this migration requires us to reload both the live and test database contents onto the new server. ----------------------------------- No changes during migration window ----------------------------------- No changes can be made to the RIPE Database or TEST Database during the migration. This includes the use of Syncupdates, Webupdates, RESTful API and the use of object editors provided through the LIR Portal. ----------------------------------- Hold off on sending email updates ----------------------------------- We also kindly request that you hold off on sending updates to the email update service (<auto-dbm(a)ripe.net>, <test-dbm(a)ripe.net>) during the migration window to allow us to make a clean restart of the new server and perform significant testing before processing any live updates. If any updates are sent to the email update service, they will be queued and run following the migration. If you do submit email updates during this time we recommend that you check the results later. ---------------------------------- RIPE Database queries unaffected ---------------------------------- Querying the RIPE Database will not be affected as this service is completely separated from the update service. However it will not be possible to query the TEST Database. We appreciate your cooperation and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group
