I'm trying to set up Cyrus IMAPd 2.1.13 with SASL 2.1.13 on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE (using the ports). The goal is to use either MySQL or OpenLDAP as the authentication backend, but I ran into a problem right at the start, using sasldb2.
The usernames need to be full email addresses, and SASL seems to be quite unhappy with the at sign. I can't find where the docs say what characters are (il)legal in usernames, and in fact the only hint I found was in the %r escape description under MySQL auxprop options (of all places). The sentence directs the reader to "the realm documentation". Where is it? -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html
