How to update an existing maintainer Object on AFRINIC whois database to enable PGP Authentication

The update is usually done by a person, who shall have the credentials (password protecting the maintainer or the PGP key that shall be used to authenticate).

Objects are protected by a mntner, and they shall contain a reference to the mntner usually in the form of mnt-xxx (examples are mnt-by, mnt-lower, mnt-routes, mnt-domains etc).

• Query the maintainer from the whois database
