Hi all,
I’m new to the db-wg, and I’m just beginning to explore the code from
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois.git. I’d like to use the code to run a private whois server to integrate with our Infoblox IPAM system. I’ve cloned the repository and followed the instructions posted at
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/whois/wiki/Installation-instructions . The instructions, however, don’t include any details on ‘priming’ the whois database – using the SQL from the
whois-commons/target/classes/<database>_schema.sql files, I get all my databases and tables created, but there is no data in the tables. I’m assuming that I need to have at least a ‘mntner’ in the WHOIS_LOCAL/mntner table, and I added a single entry manually
with an object_id of 0, but I still can’t seem to use any update method (synchupdates, REST, etc.) to add new information to the database.
Would it be possible to get a push in the right direction for manually populating the WHOIS database with enough stuff (user IDs, passwords, etc.) to begin using the APIs to modify the database?
Regards,
Scott Cubic
