Hi
I'm very confused with sasl and cyrus. All my users are in a ldap
database.
I can't authenticate with imtest. I searched the mailing list archiv.
My enviroment ist very basic.
my saslauth.conf ldap_servers: ldap://soho ldap_search_base: ou=people,ou=lan,dc=lan,dc=ch ldap_filter: (|(uid=%u)(mailacceptinggeneralid=%u))
My ldap works.
soho# testsaslauthd -u sohotest -p testsoho 0: OK "Success.
But when I try to do imtest it doesn't work
soho# imtest -m plain -a sohotest -w testsoho WARNING: no hostname supplied, assuming localhost

This is telling you that the PLAIN mechanism is not available (notice that you have no 'AUTH=xxx' capabilities advertised) unless a security layer is in place (e.g. TLS). SInce STARTTLS isn't advertised, you don't have it configured. You could test your config using the IMAP LOGIN command:
imtest -m login -a sohotest -w testsoho
