I think in general you will not be able to manage 1.2 instances with the 1.0 console.
The specific problem is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430364 which was fixed in idm-console-framework 1.1.3

I suppose you could use ldapmodify to change the nsServerAddress to the real IP address

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w yourpassword -s sub -b o=netscaperoot "nsServerAddress=0.0.0.0"
Then find which entry that is, and do something like

ldapsearch -x -D "cn=directory manager" -w yourpassword
dn: dn of the entry
changetype: modify
replace: nsServerAddress
nsServerAddress: your real IP address
