LDAP Replication and synchronization

  1. Directory Server Properties window

      1. verify "Replicated X entries...so far..." displayed
      2. verify total entries replicated displayed upon completion of replication
    2. verify the Progress dialog is non model
      1. verify other windows are not frozen and continue to operate
        • read mail
        • do address book search on other LDAP directory
        • do address book search on the same LDAP directory as replication
        • browse the web
      2. closing down Mozilla and verify replication continues with confirmation
    3. verify multiple replications are not allowed
      1. verify Download button is disabled while replication in progress or

        • Name
        • Hostname
        • Base DN
  5. Offline search and autocomplete
    1. verify there's a 'directoryname'.mab file for the LDAP server
    2. verify the size of .mab file increases or decreases after replication
    3. verify autocomplete against the replicated LDAP server
    4. verify quick search against the locally replicated Address Book for the directory
      1. in Address Book window
      2. in Sidebar Address Book
      3. in Select Addresses dialog
