Since this is a new test, perhaps we can place it directly to memberof test suite instead of adding another ticket test?

I think we should add a proper docstring and test function name here (instead of test_ticket_49161)

config_memberof does not repeat. I think we can have the code in test case and remove config_memberof func.

So as long as you've added a new test case, lets make it lib389ish right. :)

 server.plugins.enable(name=PLUGIN_MEMBER_OF)
 # set memberofentryscope
 dn = "cn=%s,%s" % (PLUGIN_MEMBER_OF, DN_PLUGIN)
 server.modify_s(dn, [(ldap.MOD_REPLACE, 'memberOfEntryScope', ensure_bytes(SUBTREE_1))])

can be

plugin = MemberOfPlugin(inst)
plugin.replace('memberOfEntryScope', SUBTREE_1)

For adding containers, members and groups you can use code from here - https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/blob/master/f/dirsrvtests/tests/suites/replication/conflict_resolve_test.py

But I think it makes sense to put the code directly to the test function and remove 'add_*' helper function. Because you need only 'add' operations you can do like this:

test_groups = Groups(standalone, SUBTREE_1, rdn=None)
test_groups.create(properties={'member' and 'cn' here})
test_groups.create(properties={'member' and another 'cn' here})

It should be linked to the associated pagure issue:
@pytest.mark.ds49161

Remove one blank line please, two is too much

You already have the line

topology_m2 is not used in the test

It is used by other test functions in the file.

Thanks for the valuable review, changes made, please check.

Right, I grepped the wrong word...
Okay, looks good to me, ack!
