AFAIK, this can't be done in your olcSyncrepl directive, you need to use ACLs on your provider to restrict your replication account's access. If you don't want to check how this interferes with your other ACL rules, it would be something like that:

Also, your restriction concerns a schema attribute, there might be dependencies forbidding this - your excluded objectClasses must be AUXILIARY to start with.

It actually turns out that it is best to leave the objectClass values there (I've discovered I have customers who are using the presence of the objectClass value as an indicator of eligibility for some service).
