I am currently working with Cyrus SASL 2.1.26 and Cyrus imap 2.4.17
installed on FreeBSD 9-STABLE.

The ldap server is actually on a different system and works properly
with and without the SSL/TLS connection. I just replaced the actual
server with localhost to mask the real host.

Just to make sure that I'm understanding the options right, is there a
good explanation for what sasl_ldapdb_canon_attr does? I'm not quite
sure that I understand its purpose.

Based on the following, its possible that my problem isn't with cyrus
imapd/sasl, but a misunderstanding of the ldap proxy authorization
process and I need to recheck my ldap config. I'm more accustomed to
using ldap filters and a base instead of the proxy authorization.

# ldapwhoami -Y digest-md5 -U imapd-user -w password -X u:tuser -Z
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
SASL username: u:tuser
SASL SSF: 128
SASL data security layer installed.
dn:cn=test user,o=hosted_domain,ou=hosting,dc=example.com

# ldapwhoami -Y digest-md5 -U imapd-user -w password -X u:tuser@xxxxxxxxxxx -Z
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Insufficient access (50)
	additional info: SASL(-14): authorization failure: not authorized
