Preparation 

Before completing the request form, create the following objects in
the RIPE Database.

1. Person/Role Object(s) 

Person and role objects contain information about people. Each object
has a unique NIC handle ("nic-hdl:"). You can create person and role
objects using webupdates .

Enter "AUTO-1" in the "nic-hdl:" field. 


When you receive the message "Create SUCCEEDED: [person] XYZ-RIPE",
make a note of your new NIC handle (XYZ-RIPE). You will need it later.

2. Mntner Object 

Mntner objects protect objects in the RIPE Database. They contain the
information needed to authorise creation, deletion or modification of
the objects that they protect. You can create mntner objects using
webupdates .

Choose a name for your mntner object and enter it in the "mntner:",
"mnt-by:" and "referral-by:" fields.

Enter the NIC handle of your person/role object in the "admin-c:"
field.

For information about choosing authentication schemes for the "auth:"
attribute, see " Protecting your data in the RIPE Database ".

If you have chosen MD5-PW or CRYPT-PW for your authentication scheme,
you can use the Crypt CGI interface to encrypt your password.

3. Organisation Object 

Organisation objects contain information about organisations. Each
object has a unique organisation ID ("organisation:"). You can create
organisation objects using webupdates .  Enter "AUTO-1" in the
"organisation:" field.  Enter "NON-REGISTRY" in the "org-type:" field.
Enter the name of your mntner object in the "mnt-ref:" and "mnt-by:"
fields.  Add a "password" field and enter the password for your mntner
object in clear-text.

When you receive the message "Create SUCCEEDED: [organisation]
ORG-XYZ-RIPE", make a note of the new organisation ID
(ORG-XYZ-RIPE). You will need it later.

You should now have: 
 
at least one person/role object 
one mntner object 
one organisation object 

You can use these in the ENUM Request Form .
