Quoting imapd.conf(5): sasl_pwcheck_method: <none> The mechanism used by the server to verify plaintext passwords. Possible values include "auxprop", "saslauthd", and "pwcheck". So you don't need to set sasl_pwcheck_method at all if you're going to use GSSAPI authentication exclusively. However, if you need to do plaintext authentication you should run saslauthd (-a kerberos5) and set sasl_pwcheck_method to saslauthd. > silver root # imtest -a cyrus -m login -p imap2 localhost You can use "imtest -m gssapi ..." to test GSSAPI authentication.
