RIPE Database CRYPT-PW Deprecation Project
by Horvath Agoston 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear colleagues, As agreed at the RIPE 53 Database Working Group session, the use of CRYPT-PW authentication method for MAINTAINER object passwords is no longer available and has been removed from the RIPE Database. In addition all CRYPT-PW auth: lines have been removed from existing MAINTAINER objects. All users affected by this change have been notified by separate e-mail sent to each MAINTAINER object contact e-mail address. If your MAINTAINER object used the CRYPT-PW authentication only, it has been locked by replacing the passwords with a randomly generated MD5-PW password. If your maintainer object used an authentication method other than CRYPT-PW, only the CRYPT-PW auth: lines have been removed. It is still possible to query all of your objects. We have provided a web form for you to enter your MAINTAINER name and the old CRYPT-PW cleartext password. This will unlock your MAINTAINER object by replacing the randomly generated password with an MD5-PW encrypted version of your original cleartext password. If your MAINTAINER object previously used CRYPT-PW with other forms of authentication, you can still use this script to add a new MD5-PW to replace the deleted CRYPT-PW. In either case, you will continue to have access to your MAINTAINER object with the same cleartext password. The form is available at: http://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/crypt2md5.cgi More information on the project is available at: http://ripe.net/db/support/security/crypt-pw_deprecation/ Regards, Agoston Horvath Database Group RIPE NCC
