If I understand correctly, the only way to use SASL authenication when connecting to the uw-imap server is use a built in facility that reads usernames and passwords from the plain text file /etc/cram-md5.pwd. Presumably the administrator has to maintain this file by hand to keep it synchronized with whatever the primary user authentication system is on the machine.
I saw Jim Rigg's 2005-07-23 post on the c-client list about introducing support for SASL authenication via the Cyrus SASL which authenticates using mechanisms like PAM or LDAP (I think), and this made me curious. Is there existing or planned support for Cyrus SASL or something similiar? Are there other techniques for using SASL to protect the imap login in such a way that password management is well-intergrated with the standard mechanisms?
