2. How are updates authenticated? I'm aware, each object has a "mntner" but how and where is the Maintainer identity part of request to the API?
Authentication is done via the maintainer's password.
3. the Test-DB did not contain any objects related to our company - that's OK. But could I add them? And how? I guess I may use 'https://apps-test.db.ripe.net/search/lookup.html?source=test&key=TEST-NCC-HM-MNT&type=mntner' Right?
There is the test database maintainer (TEST-DBM-MNT) you can use to set up everything using the password "emptypassword". once you have your own maintainer set up, use that one.

Thanks, just created a person and a mntner object :-) The Documentation is misleading. https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/ripe-datab... say: Example: auth: MD5 $1$a..." but it should say Example: auth: MD5-PW $1$a..." -- A. Schulze DATEV eG
