Yes. You cannot edit dse.ldif while the server is running. If you
really want to edit dse.ldif, you must shutdown the server first.
If you did stop the server first, make sure there is a blank line
before dn: cn=replication manager,cn=config - a blank line is the
entry delimiter in LDIF - if there is no blank line, the server may
just report a warning to the error log and continue.
I definitely shut down the server first, and I thought I did have a
blank line preceding the entry. Let me look again and see what's
happening, in the end I just used the console :-)

But you do not have to do that - you can just use ldapmodify -a to
add this entry while the server is running
