Ah. Yea, sorry: I forgot to mention
that for - no good reason other than the love of simplicity -
another constraint that I am imposing on the solution is that I do
not want to use saslauthd. I guess that actually sort of answers
the "what am I missing" part of the question. But I am missing
that on purpose. I just do not want that daemon running.
So actually this is actually more kind
of a feature request: I'd like to have the functionality of that
2001 patch implemented. :-) And, as I assume everybody is busy
scratching their own itches: Is there any good reason for me not
to pursue this?

I am making another effort to upgrade my mail and calendar system from dovecot and apple calendarserver-cyrus-imapd seems still be the best option, as it has caldav and carddav support, which I need and I don't like any of the PHP implementations that are also available for free.However, my setup includes an openLDAP instance where I store {SSHA} password. Thus I can not use the "auxprop" plugins.
Is there a specific reason why none of the available mechanisms / plugins is supporting this setup?Although there has been a patch contributed to the mailing list (in 2001 !) and there is an open pull-request that would enable it, the functionality to verify a user-supplied plain-text password against a stored hash still seems to be lacking from the trunk.Or am I missing something here?
