[arin-tech-discuss] October OT&E Refresh - Complete

[Jon Worley]

Hello Andrew,

The advantage of the default key pair is that it persists over the monthly backwashes. You don’t need to re-create the certificate every time; the default key pair will always work.

You *can* use your own key pair to generate a cert, but it’ll be overwritten with the default key pair during the monthly backwash, so we’d have to delete it and then you’d have to re-create it every month to keep using it.

Basically, if you’re testing for more than a month, the default key pair makes life easier. You can use your own, but that means monthly deletion and re-creation. 

Hope that clarifies.

-Jon

    Hello, Jon:
    
    
    Just created a ROA and the ticket resolved in less than a minute.  
    Thanks for taking care of this.
    
    
    I do have one more RPKI/OTE question if I can tag on to this email.....
    
    I've had access to the OT&E for several months now.  When I create ROAs, 
    I use the key pair posted on the webpage at: 
    https://www.arin.net/resources/ote.html#rpki
    
    I did not provide a key-pair when requesting OT&E RPKI access (it wasn't 
    required).
    
    
    A peer of mine just requested RPKI access in the OT&E (since the last 
    refresh)- he provided a key-pair in the request ticket inside the OT&E 
    environment.  When he requests ROAs, he uses his key-pair.
    
    
    Is it fair to say, for people using the new access method, they'll use 
    their own key-pair, and not the one on the site listed above?
    
    
    Thank you.

I've submitted three requests to create ROAs in the OT&E and the tickets are still pending (one for several hours).  In the past, the ROAs were created almost instantly (<1min).
