[Fedora-directory-users] Could not register the directory server with the configuration directory server

I have been attempting to add the entries suggested in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431103.  When i go to users and
groups in the Directory Console, it is blank.  When i choose create, it
gives me an option to connect to another DS.  when i select that, the
default values for User Directory Host and User Directory subtree are
(null).  Bind userID is blank.  If I update these to Host to localhost and
Bind User ID to cn=Directory Manager, I get this error:  "Specified Base DN
is not valid:  netscape.ldap.LDAPException: error result(32); No such
object"  Does User Directory Subtree affect this error?  What should it be?
I tried dc=domain,dc=org.

I also get a "No such object" error when I try to connect to the directory
now with the LDAP Admin client.

So at this point, I am unable to add to the Directory, so I cannot try the
workaround suggested in Bug 431103.

Additional information:  from the host itself, i am able to query

/usr/bin/ldapsearch -x -h domain.org -p portNumber -s base -b ""
"objectclass=*"
and it returns
result: 32 No such object

This seems to show to me that the host can access itself via the domain, and
that something else is still wrong, because it is now returning error 32.
