Deprecation of CRYPT-PW authentication method from the RIPE Database: Start of Phase 2
by Agoston Horvath 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, Phase 2 of the CRYPT-PW deprecation project will start today, Wednesday, 10 January 2007. During this period the following will apply: * Any modification to a maintainer or IRT object that adds a new CRYPT-PW authentication will be rejected * Any modification to a maintainer or IRT object that attempts to replace a CRYPT-PW with another CRYPT-PW will be rejected * Any object creations that include a CRYPT-PW authentication will be rejected * The RIPE Database will add a warning to the acknowledgement message if CRYPT-PW is used during authentication * The RIPE Database will add a warning to the acknowledgement message if a modified maintainer or IRT object still contains existing CRYPT-PW authentication Notification e-mails will be sent today to over 6300 e-mail addresses, concerning a total of 2778 objects with CRYPT-PW authentication only. Another 252 objects have other authentication methods in addition to CRYPT-PW. 20898 maintainers have no CRYPT-PW password at all. If you receive a separate notification e-mail you will have to change your password authentication method to PGP, X.509 or MD5-PW. To change your password authentication method from CRYPT-PW to MD5-PW, use the CGI at: https://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/crypt2md5.cgi Phase 1 of the project has been successfully completed. One quarter of all objects containing CRYPT-PW authentication have been modified. Over 85% of these changes were made using the crypt2md5.cgi web form. More information about the project is available at: http://www.ripe.net/db/support/security/crypt-pw_deprecation/ *Key dates* Thursday, 30 November 2006: Notification (Phase 1) Wednesday, 10 January 2007: Reject new CRYPT-PW (Phase 2) Wednesday, 21 February 2007: Remove CRYPT-PW from RIPE Database (Phase 3) If you have any questions, contact: ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net. Regards, Agoston Horvath Database Group RIPE NCC

ASN32 deployment
by Denis Walker 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear colleagues, This morning, between 07:00 and 09:00 (UTC), we deployed new software for the RIPE Database. Three changes were made: 1. The new software allows the creation of 32-bit (4-byte) Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). There is more information about this in the references at the end of this e-mail. 2. The ORGANISATION object type NON-REGISTRY has been changed to OTHER. The RIPE NCC modified all existing organisation objects which had the old type. There is more information about this at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2006/msg00245.html 3. We reversed changes made to the status of ERX objects. While implementing the ASSIGNED ANYCAST status, other changes were made. This prevented more specific assignments from being created within EARLY REGISTRATION ranges. These changes have been rolled back. If you have any questions about any of these changes, send an e-mail to <ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net>. Regards Denis Walker Database Group RIPE NCC -------- References: The new 32-bit ASN format is described in these documents: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-michaelson-4byte-as-representatio… http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-uijterwaal-rpsl-4byteas-ext-01.txt Sites using the RIPE Database software will probably have to upgrade their systems. See: http://www.ripe.net/news/asn-db-update.html Our test database (e-mail to <test-dbm(a)ripe.net> or access through webupdates) also now handles the new AS number format.
