Hi, you didn't tell which version of cyrus you are using. But since 2.3.9 the default for allowplaintext set to 0, to enforce encryptet passwords. You have to use ssl or tls, use encrypted mechs e.g. digest-md5 or change allowplaintext to 1. Quoting Rajeshwar Bharathi <rajeshwarbharathi@xxxxxxxxx>:
