blocked here.

20020424 branch build on MacOS 9.2

This is a regression from earlier builds. Marking nsbeta1 since LDAP replication
is blocked.

Comment 2

[scottputterman]

Rajiv, any ideas on what's causing this?

Comment 3

[Rajiv Dayal]

This works with Mozilla trunk build 20020429 on Mac OS 9.2.

Yulian, can u please try it again, maybe this was related to bug # 138344 
related to the server adding spaces to the changelog.

[Rajiv Dayal]

Works fine with 20020430 branch builds. Marking as worksforme.

Comment 5

[yulian chang]

20020502 branch build on Wins and Mac.

Truns out the problem is caused by DS server properties settings. In my case,
victory.mcom.com is not working, so Login dlg doesn't show up. After changing to
valid Hostname as victory, the problem is gone.

Reopen the bug but removing nsbeta1+ and regression keywords since replication
is not blocked any more if valid Hostname is provided.

The solution to this problem is to display an appropriate error message to the
user so that if he/she does not see the auth dialog its not a surprise.

Attachment: patch to fix this

patch with all related code changes to catch the error and display appropriate
message if the user is offline when doing AB LDAP replication

Jennifer could you please review the below string :
+unknownHostError=The Hostname specified for the LDAP directory is unknown

Is the Hostname entered not valid or just not reachable at this time?

Name of dialog should be the product name, for example, "Netscape" or "Mozilla" 
as appropriate.

"The LDAP directory cannot be reached because the hostname specified is not 
valid. Verify that you entered the correct hostname in the Directory Server 
Properties dialog and then try again."
