Dear colleagues, The LIR Portal is back online but the problem is not completely fixed. If you create ticket requests involving documents they will be received, but they could take longer to be processed. We are continuing to work on the issue and might need to put LIR Portal back into maintenance mode again to fully resolve the issue. We will inform you if this is the case. We are very sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, Theo -- Theodoros Polychniatis Assistant Manager SW Engineering Dept. RIPE NCC

[service] LIR Portal Temporarily Unavailable
by Theodoros Polychniatis 09 Oct '20

09 Oct '20

Dear colleagues, We have temporarily blocked access to the LIR Portal so we can fix an issue with our document management system. This is related to the outage with our ticketing system yesterday, which was caused by a configuration error involving the integration of our document management system with the LIR Portal. The maintenance we are now performing aims to resolve this issue. Some requests could take longer to be processed until the issue is fully resolved. Best regards, Theo -- Theodoros Polychniatis Assistant Manager SW Engineering Dept. RIPE NCC
