According to RFC 2256, “This attribute contains the full name of a state or province (stateOrProvinceName).” While RFC 2256 specifies use of the “full name,” it is customary to use the U.S. Postal Service set of two-letter state name abbreviations for states in the U.S." Fred Younger -----Original Message----- From: Zhang Weiwu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 4:54 AM To: Dieter Kluenter Cc: [email protected] Subject: [ldap] Re: shortname for states?
