Description Sharath Dwaral 2013-06-11 16:43:32 UTC
Description of problem:
Clicking back-button immediately after registering takes you back to "Choose Service" screen and you can re-register again.

But clicking on back-button after navigating to create user take you back to "enter server url and port" screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa | egrep "subscription-manager|python-rhsm" 
subscription-manager-migration-data-1.11.3.1-1.git.1.78afd75.el5
subscription-manager-debuginfo-1.8.8-1.el5
python-rhsm-1.8.12-1.git.0.d747a65.el5

subscription-manager-gui-1.8.10-1.git.27.c1dbb63.el5
subscription-manager-1.8.10-1.git.27.c1dbb63.el5
subscription-manager-migration-1.8.10-1.git.27.c1dbb63.el5

Comment 3 Devan Goodwin 2013-08-01 14:40:43 UTC
This is actually expected behaviour and somewhat of a "best we could do" situation. On RHEL 5 specifically, we cannot go from the next firstboot module (Create User) back to the last screen of our module due to limitations with firstboot. We were unable to locate the bug where this behaviour was decided upon but it's been through a number of iterations and this was where we had to settle with it. 

If this were to resurface on RHEL 6 we *may* be able to do something there, but not on EL5. Closing for now.
