Thanks, this is an (internal) lab platform !

I finally focus on the fact that authentication fails if userid and
authid differ.

So, my primary setup was (without sasldb)

Installed and properly configured auxprop mechanisms are:
>> <none>

I recompiled sasl with sasldb

then auxprop was not empty
Installed and properly configured auxprop mechanisms are:
sasldb
List of auxprop plugins follows
Plugin "sasldb" ,       API version: 8
        supports store: yes

and now everything works fine:

[root@cassandra etc]# /opt/cyrus-imapd_3.0.7-cyrus/bin/imtest  -m plain
-a mailproxy -u delaye imap1.eurecom.fr
S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE
MUPDATE=mupdate://cassandra.eurecom.fr/ STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN SASL-IR]
imap1.eurecom.fr Cyrus IMAP 3.0.7 server ready
Please enter your password:

Authenticated.
Security strength factor: 0
* BYE idle for too long
Connection closed.

Thanks for your help.
