Re: authorization problem with route object

[Denis Walker denis@localhost]

Dear Babak Farrokhi,

The only way this can be done is for both parties to provide the 
authorisation. If both maintainers use passwords then this requires one to 
disclose their password to the other. As this is not usually acceptable, it 
means that at least one party needs to use pgp authentication. That one 
creates the update message and pgp signs it. Forwards it to the second party 
who adds their password and submits it to auto-dbm@localhost.

 * Hi,

 * I've got a chicken-and-egg problem with authorization on a route object.
 * The "inetnum" object in question has been maintained by MNT-AAA and I want
 * to make a route object for it that originates from ASXXXX which is being
 * maintained by MNT-BBB.
 * Since two maintainers are from two different registries, and creating a
 * route object needs both autorization for MNT-AAA (owner of inetnum) and
 * MNT-BBB (owner of AS object) to be satisfied, I wonder how should I create
 * this route object. In case I am MNT-AAA, the creation request failes because
 * MNT-BBB authorization is not passed and vice versa.
 * 
 * I would be thankful if someone in list can shed some light on this subject.
 * 
 * (p.s. I searched mail list archive for this and also digged some docs, but
 * did not find a solution.)
 * 
 * Thanks,
 * Babak
