Dear Colleagues, This is a short announcement to inform you that the "auth:" attribute of MNTNER and IRT objects are now inverse keys, allowing users to search for objects with a specific "auth:" attribute. The schemata of MNTNER and IRT objects are as follows: mntner: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] descr: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] upd-to: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-nfy: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] auth: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] referral-by: [mandatory] [single] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] irt: [mandatory] [single] [primary/look-up key] address: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] phone: [optional] [multiple] [ ] fax-no: [optional] [multiple] [ ] e-mail: [mandatory] [multiple] [lookup key] signature: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] encryption: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] org: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] admin-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] tech-c: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] auth: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] remarks: [optional] [multiple] [ ] irt-nfy: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] notify: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] mnt-by: [mandatory] [multiple] [inverse key] changed: [mandatory] [multiple] [ ] source: [mandatory] [single] [ ] An example query to find objects with the "auth: PGPKEY-00D69859", would be: $ whois -r -iauth PGPKEY-00D69859 % This is the RIPE Whois server. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % Rights restricted by copyright. % See http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/pub-services/db/copyright.html mntner: ENGIN-MNT descr: Engin's mntner admin-c: EG792-RIPE upd-to: engin at ripe.net mnt-nfy: engin at ripe.net auth: PGPKEY-00D69859 mnt-by: ENGIN-MNT referral-by: RIPE-DBM-MNT changed: engin at ripe.net 20000313 changed: engin at ripe.net 20020531 source: RIPE Please note that inverse queries are only possible for PGPKEY and X509 authentication methods. The DES (CRYPT-PW) and MD5 (MD5-PW) encrypted passwords are not inverse searchable due to security concerns. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact <ripe-dbm at ripe.net>.
