Comment 25 for bug 1229195

Kevin, I've been away on vacation for two weeks. Sorry for the delay in responding. What I really know is that the --no-xmlpost option fixed it somehow. I assumed it was related to the code that I looked at briefly that you appear to have also found restricting to auth group to the choices returned by the server. I assumed that --no-xmlpost somehow caused that entire piece of code to be skipped, but I never saw where that actually occurred. I propose that at least one fix would be to generate a warning (instead of failing) during that validation.

I don't think the server returns the choice I'm using either way, but it does accept the value when it is explicitly specified. The server is not public, and I doubt that providing the name would be of much use to you.
