The attribute you want is caCertificate. What you need to do is convert 
your CA cert from PEM format to DER:

openssl x509 -in /etc/ipa/ca.crt -out /tmp/ca.der -outform DER

Then use this ldif:

dn: cn=cacert,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: cacertificate;binary
cacertificate;binary:< file:///tmp/ca.der

That should do it.
