In summary:
The reworking of _sasl_auxprop_lookup in 2.1.25 is completely broken.
By creating a return status that defaults to SASL_NOMECH, if someone
builds cyrus-sasl with no auxprop mechanisms, all authentications
fail because this one function cannot load the auxprop modules, since
they don't exist.
This is even somewhat noted in one comment in the function itself:
/* TODO: Ideally, each auxprop plugin should be marked if its
failure
should be ignored or treated as a fatal error of the whole
lookup. */
I was able to get 2.1.25 to correctly work when there are no auxprop
plugins with the following patch:
--- auxprop.c.orig 2012-01-11 12:34:03.948477379 -0800

I.e., if we are not able to load the aux prop plugins when we call
getopt, set plist to NULL and set the result to SASL_OK.
This is probably not the best solution in the world, as I imagine
there may be other reasons why the getopt call here may fail, but it
does return the behavior of the function to matching 2.1.23, and
allows builds w/o auxprop to function correctly.

Quanah,
I did not notice that there was a bug already open on this issue. I've
updated it with your above comments and proposed patch:

Thank You,
