Description Chris Duryee 2007-08-06 14:07:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

Something in RHN is passing full spelled out state names into User Service.

Spelled out names (e.g. Ohio or Minnesota) should be turned into the 2 character
representation (e.g. OH or MN). This should account for capitalization.

Maybe you can validate against the address service first. I'm not sure how this
would work for people who are registering from their workstation, we can discuss
the best way to resolve this.
Comment 1 Grant Gainey 2008-04-21 16:06:59 UTC 
Creating a user from rhn_register is no longer supported, and creating frmo the
webUI now goes through the UserService validator - I think this is no longer a
problem.  Closing as CURRENTRELEASE
