The OpenLDAP 2.4 Administrator's Guide has an example configuration for the ProxyCache overlay for the cn=config slapd backend in chapter 12.9.2.5. This example is ambigious in providing guidance about the fact that the pcache overlay requires a separate database to store its cached entries in. In fact the example makes it look like the ldap database to be cached for, the pcache overlay and the pcache database are totally individual entries below cn=config. This is not the case and the example should be edited to reflect the hierachy of those three entries, e.g.

# database to be cached for dn: olcDatabase={2}ldap,cn=config ... # pcache overlay dn: olcOverlay={0}pcache,cn=config ... # dn: olcDatabase={0}hdb,olcOverlay={0}pcache,cn=config ...

also indexing for the pcacheQueryid (as per the slapo-pcache manpage) might be useful to include in the example, e.g.

olcDbIndex: pcacheQueryID eq
