RIPE NCC Open House: OAuth2 Authentication

The RIPE NCC hosted an Open House to discuss a new OAuth2-based authentication solution for maintainers in the RIPE Database. The alternative authentication method enhances security and usability while aligning with modern industry standards.

The RIPE NCC team developed a prototype and shared it with the community to gather feedback. During this interactive session, they presented the prototype, explained how it compares to current authentication methods and discussed potential benefits and challenges. Community members raised questions about the implementation and next steps to adopting this method.
