Hi,

I did not see anything like this in the servers directory. But I did find it
in the auth_browser_req.xml file as mentioned earlier:

auth_browswer_req.xml:

<input>
            <name>ADDITIONAL_ATTRIBUTE_COUNTRY</name>
            <label>Country</label>
            <type>textfield</type>
            <charset>UTF8_LETTERS</charset>
            <value>$DATA::C</value>
            <minlen>3</minlen>
            <required>NO</required>
</input>

I did change it to 2 in the template version and ran configuration_etc.sh,
but there is still no change. It is telling me that if I have any entry in
that field, it must be at least 3 chars long. Ironically, I have been able
to get around this by not putting anything since it is set to "not-required"
(you would think this would be required).

Thanks again!!!
