The workshop will be held at the RIPE meeting location. Topics to be covered in the workshop include: + Hierarchical authorization + Automatic NIC-handle mechanism + Role objects + Classless update and lookup mechanisms + Reverse lookup of objects + Near real time mirroring Where applicable, examples will be used to illustrate how the features above can best be employed. Common questions regarding the use of each feature will also be discussed. Time will be reserved to address the questions of workshop attendees. The test database will be set up during the meeting with the examples covered in the workshop. Attendees can try things out during the RIPE meeting, and address any questions that may arise to RIPE NCC database support staff.
