NOAUTHENTICATION problem with timsieved

[Riccardo Veraldi]

Hello,
i have troubles with timsieved belonging to  cyrus-imapd version 2.4.13

with version 2.4.10 I didn't have this problem.

it is impossible for me to authenticate on timsieved:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.4.13-Invoca-RPM-2.4.13-CNAF_1.el6"
"SASL" ""
"SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags 
notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy"
"STARTTLS"
"UNAUTHENTICATE"
OK


I see the UNAUTHENTICATE string which I never seen in previous timsieved 
installation.

managesieve plugins give me errors like this

[06-Aug-2012 11:52:16] No supported authentication method found. The 
server supports these methods: , but we want to use: PLAIN ():


basically no authentication method is supported inside timsieved.

this is my imapd.conf

configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
hashimapspool: true
allowplaintext: false
allowusermoves: true
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd

tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/CA.pem


and this is my cyrus.conf


START {
   # do not delete this entry!
   recover    cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -r"

   # this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE
   idled        cmd="idled"
}

   # this is only necessary if using notifications
#  notify    cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/notify" 
proto="udp" prefork=1
}

EVENTS {
   # this is required
   checkpoint    cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30

   # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression,
   # Sieve or NNTP
   delprune    cmd="cyr_expire -D 7 -E 3 -X 7" at=0400

   # this is only necessary if caching TLS sessions
   tlsprune    cmd="tls_prune" at=0400
}



anyone could give me a hint on why timsieved behaves in this way ?

thank you
