H5: Cacheable Queries
A LDAP search query is cacheable when its filter matches one of the
templates as defined in the "proxyTemplate" statements and when it references
templates as defined in the "pcacheTemplate" statements and when it references
only the attributes specified in the corresponding attribute set.
In the example above the attribute set number 0 defines that only the
attributes: {{EX:mail postaladdress telephonenumber}} are cached for the following
proxyTemplates.
