This combination is unsupported, the admin server only works with 1.3.x series 
389-ds and lower. 

It's worth pointing out if you are already a SLES customer, that as of SLE15SP1 
1.4.x of 389-ds is a supported part of SLES, so you could consider a migration 
to SLE15SP1 for your directory server deployment.

The only way to prevent this would be to pin the package versions of the 
mozilla nss libraries and related parts so that the admin server works. But the 
admin server has not been maintained in a long time, and this means that it 
will never be upgraded to support newer mozilla nss packages. :( 

Sorry about that,
