Dear Cyrus Friends,

I need your help to solve the following:

I'm setting up cyrus on my new FreeBSD 10.0 server. I have used the following
package: cyrus-imapd24-2.4.17_4

If I test my setup with imtest, I get connection to the imap server.

MyName at MyComputer:~$ imtest -m login -u username -a username -s localhost
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
TLS connection established: TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)

However, if I try to connect via cyradm, I cannot login.

MyName at MyComputer:~$ cyradm --user username localhost
Password: 
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
cyradm: cannot authenticate to server with  as username

Either I use imtest to setup my users, or I need cyradm running. Can
someone help me in either way?

What are the commands for imtest? Is it in the imap rfc?
