Description
When adding trusted servers, the status indication with just yellow/green bubbles doesn't give any clear hint to what is going on. Basically the followings steps are required in order to have them show up as successfully connected:
- add remove server on both ends
- either wait or:
- trigger cron (up to) twice on both ends for the shared secret exchange
- manually trigger occ federation:sync-addressbooks
Ideally we should give a litte hint about at which stage of the sync the trusted server currently is. E.g.:
- Shared secret exchange pending
- Federated addressbook sync pending

Research direction
Trace trusted-server setup and the occ federation:sync-addressbooks entry point, then follow how shared secret exchange and federated addressbook synchronization expose their current stages. Done means the trusted-server status distinguishes pending shared-secret exchange from pending federated addressbook synchronization instead of showing only yellow or green bubbles.
