Dear list!
I am using Cyrus IMAPd 2.2.13 on Debian Lenny. I tried to configure my
IMAPd to allow PLAIN authentication, even over non-encrypted
connections. (This is a pure Intranet deployment and I understand the risk.)
Despite setting the appropriate options in imapd.conf, i.e.:
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
sasl_minimum_layer: 0
the server just refuses to announce PLAIN as an authentication mechanism.
I think you have to set "allowplaintext: 1" in your imapd.conf and also
specify your imap service in cyrus.conf as cmd="imapd -p 2" to tell it
there's an external security layer in place.
