Only question now is if this is enough to prevent people from binding as
cn=config on ldap://<public-IP>/, where the server is also listening.
Without any other authz-regexps in place, the only other possibility is
to use a client cert that slapd trusts, whose subject DN is "cn=config".
Aside from that, no, there is no other way anyone can bind to this
identity.
Alright... So I guess that would be the way to do it if I wanted
cn=config syncrepl-icated from another server.
