LIR Portal X.509 Authentication change
by Alex Band 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, This announcement applies to any LIR Portal users that currently sign in using an X.509 certificate in their browser. On Tuesday, 6 September, the RIPE NCC will deploy an update to the LIR Portal, replacing the existing X.509 login system with a new, more robust and easier to maintain platform. The update will also make a fundamental change to user management. In the current system, any user can decide to generate and use an identity certificate to log in; under the new system, it will be up to the LIR Portal administrator to allow that LIR's users to login using X.509 certificates. There will be an article published on RIPE Labs around the time of deployment that will will go into greater detail about these changes. For now, however, it is important to note that: 1. The upgrade will mean that on 6 September, users currently accessing the LIR portal via X.509 certificates will no longer be able to do so. All users will still be able to access the LIR Portal using their RegID, username and password. 2. Users wishing to access the LIR Portal using an X.509 identity certificate will need to generate a new certificate. If you are not the LIR Portal administrator, you will need to have your administrator generate a certificate for you. Details on this process will be included in the RIPE Labs article. A further announcement will be sent to this mailing list on 6 September. If you have any questions or comments in the meantime, please contact sw-enhancements(a)ripe.net. Best regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Reminder: Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011
by Paul Rendek 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, There's just one week left to complete the Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011. Take part online now at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2011 This survey has been designed by GNKS Consult in collaboration with TNO and the RIPE NCC to further understand where the community stands on IPv6 and what needs be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. Anyone can participate in this survey and we hope that the results will establish a comprehensive view of current IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey comprises 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments or who have not yet deployed IPv6, there will be fewer questions. The survey will close on 31 July 2011. We thank you for your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please email <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. For more information about the survey and links to previous year's survey results, please see: https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/industry-developments/globa… Regards, Paul Rendek RIPE NCC Head of External Relations and Communication
