whois query tools database, based on the
RIPE engine (www.ripe.net). the tool is written in perl (by the staff at
ripe.net; they just implemented an instance at their site), and in this
instance, it was implemented on sparc boxes running solaris and apache,
with a lot of mods added in. the official title is the vpn routing
registry. the unix sys admin work was done by nad AT devlinks DOT net;
the programming of the RIPE engine was done by can bican and lots of
other programmers at RIPE (can't remember them all, but they were
extremely helpful with advice and technical assistance during the
install). learning the protocols to commit objects was a bit outside my
experience, but worthwhile to learn. it had also been a while since I
did any perl work, so that was a nice change of pace |

this is the interface to select object
type for creation |
 |
this example is of adding a person object.
you can move the fields around and increase the lines. my customizations
included the .pm and .pl files to remove their menuing and customize the
application for the telco environment |
 |
a person object filled out in correct
syntax, with automatic nic handle information generated |
 |
successful commit of new person object |
 |
show database view on production box |
 |
query section of whois tool - here we're
looking for person objects (by default) with "bugs" in them |
 |
found person object that contains "bugs" -
this one is for bugs bunny |
 |
this view shows the advanced query view |
 |
this is the free form add, modify, and
delete tool for updating all objects in the database. it's important to
capture the changed field with the date stamp, or future modifications
will not commit |

this is the password registration tool |
