This is from cyradm, right? What was your choice of SASL mechanism?

It would be benefitial to know why this failed, but if you're targeting
SASL-DB, it is really secondary.

OK, what is the setup of Cyrus IMAP, regrading SASL mechanisms?
Better yet, set it up to use SASL-DB:
/etc/imapd.conf
---------------
...
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_auxprop_plugin: sasldb
...
---------------
Then, use "saslpasswd2 -c <username>" to create entries in SASL-DB.
BTW, I'm in a process of setting up AuxProp: LDAP-DB and it is a head cracker.
I cannot opt for SASL-DB, since I need Microsoft ADS integration.
Nix.
