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 Link: https://www.db.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/webupdates.pl .
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 Link: https://www.db.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/webupdates.pl .
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 Link: resolveuid/44f2f3493809d218a196b447cdba4db5 ".
If you have chosen MD5-PW or CRYPT-PW for your authentication scheme, you can use the Crypt CGI interface Link: https://www.ripe.net/cgi-bin/crypt.cgi 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 Link: https://www.db.ripe.net/fcgi-bin/webupdates.pl .
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.
