Cyrus uses an authentication module to auth against. So it is
dependent on that module (e.g pam ldap ).
My ldap patch for sasl uses the ldap_bind operation to verify the
password (which I think only uses userPassword) but this can easily
be modified to look up the password before hand.
Pam_ldap could be modifed just as easily.
I dont know whether that makes any sense but if it doesnt
just send me a reply.
