When attempting configuring slapd as a consumer with proxy authorization, it
refuses to start up after the olcDbURI attribute is added to the
olcDatabase=ldap entry:

===BEGIN======================

slapd-chain: first underlying database
"olcDatabase={0}ldap,olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config" cannot
contain attribute "olcDbURI". config error processing
olcDatabase={0}ldap,olcOverlay={0}chain,olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config:

slapcat: bad configuration file!

===END========================

This situation occurs with both the SIMPLE and SASL-GSSAPI bind configurations
that I've tested.

The solution is to apply this patch:

For background, see also this thread:

As you can see, the issue has been known for some time, but I don't know if a
bug report has been submitted for it yet, so I thought this would do no harm.
