[service] Document Management at the RIPE NCC
by Matt Parker 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC will move to a new cloud-based ticketing system, Zendesk, in the coming weeks. The data centres for this system are located in the EU and are fully ISO 27001 compliant. More information is available in the RIPE Labs article on the new ticketing system: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/ticketing-and-document-management-at… As part of the transition process, and to ensure security for you and your private information, we will change the way we receive and manage documentation from next week. Members often send us sensitive and confidential documents that they would not want uploaded to the cloud. We will ensure that these are stored only on dedicated RIPE NCC servers. All requests to the RIPE NCC that require sending documentation are already submitted through my.ripe.net - so there is no change here. If you need to add further documentation to a request, you will be able to do this using the enhanced 'My Tickets' functionality that will be available to registered LIR account holders. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best regards, Matt Parker RIPE NCC

[news] Unifying the LIR Portal and RIPE Database User Experience
by Tim Bruijnzeels 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that we have completed our integration of the LIR Portal and the RIPE Database web interface. Users will now have a seamless experience when managing their LIR and their resources, and editing objects in the RIPE Database. In the past, the LIR Portal and RIPE Database were maintained as separate applications with their own navigation and authentication. Today the distinction between these two services is no longer as relevant as it once was. The LIR Portal, which was originally intended only for members, also now caters to other resource holders (e.g. RPKI for Legacy Resource Holders and Provider Independent End Users). Similarly, the RIPE Database offers resource management options that were previously only available in the LIR Portal. The two navigation menus have therefore been unified into a single menu that is contextual - users will see only those items that are applicable to them. This functionality is also available for non-LIR users with a RIPE NCC Access account that is linked to an ORGANISATION object in the RIPE Database. This will make it easier for non members to use My Resources and the RPKI Dashboard. You can find updated documentation on our website here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/member-support/ripe-ncc-access This latest update is part of our ongoing efforts to streamline the ways that our members interact with the RIPE NCC and manage their resources, as recently discussed on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/AlexBand/unifying-the-lir-portal-and-ripe-dat… Regards Tim Bruijnzeels Software Engineering Assistant Manager and Senior Technology Officer RIPE NCC
