Re: Cyrus IMAP SASL authentication failure

[Evgeniy Arbatov <arbatovevgeniy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your suggestions! I figured out what was the problem in my case.

This was the OPTIONS setting in /etc/deafault/saslauthd. Since I run my Postfix chrooted I had: 
OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"

In order for cyradm to identify users using I saslauthd, I also added
default OPTIONS setting to /etc/default/saslauthd file. So, my final
settings look like this:

OPTIONS="-c -m /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd"
OPTIONS="-c -m /var/run/saslauthd"

Regards,
Evgeniy

Indeed. Try:

 cyradm --user cyrus --auth login localhost -tls
