Hello, everyone

We're about to migrate a server from Courier-IMAP to Cyrus-IMAP. The Courier-server autheticates via authdaemond to a MySQL-server, and the passwords in the MySQL-server are MD5-encrypted.

I can not get authentication to work with Cyrus and SASL (with the SQL auxprop-plugin) with the encrypted passwords, only when the passwords are in plaintext. The question is, is there something I've not understood in how to configure Cyrus/SASL, or does the SQL auxprop-plugin require all the passwords to be in plaintext?

If it is not possible to have MD5-encrypted passwords, does anone have any suggestions what we could do instead? Authenticate against Courier's authdaemond, perhaps?

A way to use md5 encrypted passwords is to let saslauthd connect to pam and let pam connect to the mysql database.
