[arin-tech-discuss] I got an error when I am trying to get a poc info

[David Huberman]

Hello Sean,

We'll be publishing an updated METHODs PDF on the release date (currently
scheduled for Saturday, September 24, 2011). I looked at the
documentation, and makeLink turns out to be pretty easy to use.  It's in
the URL path:

/rest/poc;makeLink=TRUE?apikey=APIKEY
/rest/poc;makeLink=FALSE?apikey=APIKEY


If you specify makeLink=TRUE, then the POC gets created and the ARIN
Online account that generated the API key will be linked to that POC,
giving it authority.

So that turns out to be a really nice way of addressing the concern both
you and Aaron Hughes brought up this week here on arin-tech-discuss. If
you want to keep reassignment OrgIDs neat and tidy, you use makeLink=TRUE
for all the creations, which gives you authorization to delete the OrgID
when the customer disconnects, and permission to delete the POC after you
delete the OrgID.

Hope I wrote that clearly :)

Regards,
David

Hello Sean,
 
To become authoritative for a POC handle, your ARIN Online account needs
to be linked to it. Today, when you create a POC RESTfully, you are not
automagically linked to it. So you
 would have to login to your ARIN Online account, click on POC RECORDS,
and use the "link" function to become authoritative for ZHAOS2-ARIN. The
good news is later this month, we'll be adding the <makeLink> function
which will take care of that at the time
 of POC creation. We hope this new function will be very useful for you!
 
Regards,
David

Hi, David,
                Thanks for your response. I have more question regarding
this issue. How do you know if I am the POC/OrgID or not? For example, I
created a POC. The handle is ZHAOS2-ARIN. It is my name, my phone
 number. When I was trying to delete it, it still has the ³authorized²
issue. Obviously, somehow in Arin¹ DB, I am not me. Why is that?
 
Thanks,
