Jr. Newbie here. Please point me in the right direction if possible. :)
I can't seem to get past "user not found" to enable me to login to the IMAP server.
My objective is to authenticate and login using the imap admin user. I would like to use what (I thought) would be the easiest configuration. All users and passwords would be contained in a Berkeley db. The IMAP server would verify user/pass against entries in that database.
Any help would be appreciated.

(Thank you Simon Matter) ... I originally compiled from source code, but could not get the cyradm to run properly.
I understand that the /etc/imapd.conf can be the single source of configuration for the IMAP server (including SASL configuration). Is there a configuration detail that I need to load the "sasldb" auxprop ?

***** my reference **** From cyrus-imapd-2.2.3/doc/install-auth.html Configuring Authentication
Cyrus SASL has a number of options that can be configured by the application. To configure these via imapd.conf, simply prefix the appropriate option name with sasl_ (e.g. pwcheck_method becomes sasl_pwcheck_method).
/etc/sasldb2
The easiest method for authenticating users is to use the libsasl authentication database and create users using the "saslpasswd2" utility. Set "sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop", and be sure that the SASL sasldb auxprop module is installed (it is, by default). Make sure Cyrus can read "/etc/sasldb2
