by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is in the process of updating its mailing list hardware and software. This will allow us to implement new features on the mailing lists, such as a complex search functionality throughout the archives. The new servers are currently undergoing testing and will be put into production today -- 13 October, 2011. You do not need to take any action and all subscriptions and settings will be copied over to the new system. However, we would like to inform you that, after implementation, the mailing list archives will have a slightly different look and you will need to update any direct links to messages in the archives. A description of all RIPE and RIPE NCC mailing lists can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact us at webmaster(a)ripe.net if you encounter any issues following the implementation. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader - http://www.ripe.net/

Verify your LIR Portal email address before 17 October 2011
by Alex Band 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Dear Colleagues, We are in the process of rolling out RIPE NCC Access. This will enable you to access various RIPE NCC services using just one password instead of having to sign in to each tool or service separately. We've already enabled RIPE NCC Access for IS Alarms and the next service scheduled for migration is the LIR Portal. Because this is our most used service, it is likely that you will soon have a RIPE NCC Access account. Because RIPE NCC Access uses your email address as your username, the email address that is currently associated with your LIR Portal account will become your new RIPE NCC Access username. This username can then be used to log into IS Alarms and the LIR Portal and other services as they are migrated to RIPE NCC Access. Please log into the LIR Portal and verify your email address in the top right corner. If you would like to use a different email address than the one displayed for your RIPE NCC Access account, please contact your LIR Portal Administrator and ask them to update it before 17 October, 2011, to ensure a smooth migration. The LIR Portal can be found online at: https://lirportal.ripe.net/ If you have any questions or comments about this, please contact <sw-enhancements(a)ripe.net> Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Deployment of REST Interfaces to the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Database Group is pleased to announce the deployment of the RIPE Database RESTful Web Services API. These are REST interfaces to the RIPE Database. The latest version of the API offers full CRUD support and also new advanced methods to programmatically manipulate RIPE Database objects. These services have been available for a while as discussed on RIPE Labs. They have now been migrated to our production servers and are fully supported. Documentation can be found on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-documentation https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-introduction https://labs.ripe.net/Members/Paul_P_/create-update-and-delete-via-the-rest… The development of these services will continue through our iterative development process. Whilst the fundamentals won't change, we will be responding to ideas, suggestions and any bug reports as we continue to develop them. For this reason we would consider them as beta releases for a while. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

Resource Certification/RPKI Workshop at RIPE 63
by Alex Band 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

RIPE 63 attendees interested in Resource Certification/RPKI are encouraged to take part in a workshop on Monday, 31 October from 9:30-12:30 in the Park Congress 2+3 rooms. ===================== What you'll learn ===================== The workshop will focus on BGP Origin Validation, based on the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). You will learn how RPKI enables network operators to make more reliable routing decisions and how it protects against accidental mis-origination, the most common routing error we see today. Using various open-source tools from rpki.net and the RIPE NCC, you will be able to set up a resource certificate and create Route Origin Authorisation (ROA) objects, stating which Autonomous Systems are authorised to originate the prefixes you hold. After publishing your ROAs, you can validate them and configure routers to set routing preferences based on the RPKI status of your prefixes. This workshop will be a collaboration between Rob Austein, Randy Bush, Michael Elkins, Benno Overeinder (NLNet Labs), Jac Kloots (SURFnet), Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks and the RIPE NCC. ========================= Participation Details ========================= You do not need to register for this workshop. There are no prerequisites for using the rpki.net tools. In order to generate a certificate and configure ROAs on the RIPE NCC pilot server, you'll need to have an LIR Portal user account with access to the certification system or know the administrator credentials for your LIR Portal account. More information: http://ripe.net/certification/enable.html If you don't have an LIR Portal account or the necessary administrator credentials, you can still participate. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna! Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Improvements to RIPE Database webforms
by Denis Walker 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC Database Group is pleased to announce some improvements to the database webforms. There is now an expanding menu on the right hand side of each form containing quick links to get to every form. You no longer need to bookmark each form and you can navigate to any other form quickly and easily. The query search results now have buttons for each object shown in the results. These buttons can be seen when you move your mouse over the object. By clicking one of these buttons, that object is opened in a Webupdates Form enabling you to either update or delete the object. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group
