How to use cyradm with plaintext over SSL or TLS?

[Luc Germain]

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. The problem is that eventhough I'm on the same
server, SASL still won't allow a connection in plaintext since I've
forced encryption with "allowplaintext=no"...

I don't really see how I could use imtest within a perl script...
However, I just found the perl module IMAP::Admin on CPAN that may do
what I need.

Adding support for SSL/TLS in cyradm would still be great though to
allow interactive management of cyrus servers that force encrypted
connections...

Regards,

Luc.
