It works for me with 2.4.21:

dn: olcDatabase={2}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcSyncrepl
olcSyncrepl: rid=100 provider=${ldap_master_url} bindmethod=si
mple timeout=0 network-timeout=0 binddn=uid=zmreplica,cn=admins,cn=zimbra c
redentials=${ldap_replication_password} starttls=critical 
filter="(objectclass=*)" searchbase=""
 logfilter="(&(objectClass=auditWriteObject)(reqResult=0))" 
logbase=cn=access
log scope=sub schemachecking=off type=refreshAndPersist retry="60 +" 
syncdat
a=accesslog tls_cacertdir=/opt/zimbra/conf/ca

is the LDIF I use to ldapmodify my entry.
