Hello,
I'm sorry, but this statement parses as nonsense. You have saslauthd running but it isn't used, and you have auxprop listed even though you don't have an auxprop. How exactly are you being authenticated?
there seems to be a default auxprop, because saslauthd was configured to use pam, not sasldb2.
And have you tried reading the logs? There is nothing mystical here -- everything is logged, including how your login and realm are parsed for authentication.
There is a lot of mystical in Cyrus, especially because it lacks sufficient documentation. I know that programmers don't like to document what they worked on, but for new users it is very hard and cumbersome to get the information and examples that are required to understand Cyrus at least partially from widespread mailinglist posts, some outdated howtos in the web and some cyrus manpages.
