LDAP cn=config Newbie Question

[Calos Lopez <mersc2008@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I'm entering in the OpenLDAP world and I've installed from scratch an
2.4.16. Since version 2.3 the configuration of OpenLDAP are stored has
ldif entries but many examples still continues assume that we are
working with ldap.conf file.
For instance, I'm trying to set up  a replication scenario with
syncrepl following this tutorial
http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch7/#ol-syncrepl but all the examples
are based in ldap.conf files.My question where do I enter the config
settings for syncrepl? In the olcDatabase={1} or bdb,
olcDatabase={-1}frontend ? What are the names of the attributes that I
must insert to the equivalent to the ldap.conf entries :

syncrepl rid=000
  provider=ldap://master-ldap.example.com
  type=refreshAndPersist
  retry="5 5 300 +"
  searchbase="dc=example,dc=com"
  attrs="*,+"
  bindmethod=simple
  binddn="cn=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
  credentials=dirtysecret

I'm really a bit confused what is the method for configurate LDAP
server since this new configuration paradigm cn=config.

All help will be very useful.

Best regards
