Update to RIPE NCC LIR Portal
by Andrew de la Haye 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear RIPE NCC member, The RIPE NCC is currently in the process of upgrading the LIR Portal to a single sign-on system. Once implemented, this system will allow members to more easily access all RIPE NCC services that require the user to sign in. To help ensure a smooth deployment, the upgrade will be rolled out in stages over the coming months. The first stage of deployment, upgrading the Billing section of the site, was carried out on Wednesday, 14 April. Because the deployment of this new sign-in system so far applies to only part of the LIR Portal, users may find that they are asked to sign in more than once as they move between different sections of the site. This is to be expected, and will continue until the single sign- on system has been fully deployed throughout the LIR Portal. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause users. If you have any questions or comments regarding this upgrade, please email <ncc(a)ripe.net >. Best regards, Andrew de la Haye Chief Operations Officer
