I would also like to add that for my purposes, I would need an MD5-PW auth on that mntner too since I use the WHOIS API.
it might be a better idea to look at ways of improving authentication on the whois api rather than going a step backwards to md5-pw.
Indeed. When stage 1 of NWI-8 is implemented, I was planning to propose an NWI to allow for creating API keys for database maintenance at https://lirportal.ripe.net/api/ (i.e., for use with Syncupdates and the RESTful API). One could then use that API key to authenticate against the LIR's default authentication group. Tore
