Did anyone find a fix for this? I'm having the same problem.
Here's the interactive output from register-ds-admin.pl
[root at generic-02 ~]# register-ds-admin.pl --debug

The Directory Server locates its configuration file (dse.ldif) at /etc/
dirsrv/slapd-ID, by default. If you have Directory Server(s) which
configuration file is put at the other location, you need to input it
to register the server.
If you have such Directory Server, type the full path that stores the
configuration file.
If you don't, type return.

Have followed these instructions, with the fixes from the patch and we
are further along! I now have all servers registered on the master
server and can see them from there as expected.
I now face an issue with "register-ds-admin.pl" when I run it in the
secondary server I get the following output.
If you have such Directory Server, type the full path that stores the
configuration file.
If you don't, type return.

and this justs keeps cycling asking the same question.
If I run on one of the consumers the behaviour is different but still
no very useful. I get a bit further but it refuses to recognise the
admin password.

Any suggestions?
