Here is a sample server string:
{server/imap/norsh/tls/authuser=<authcid>/user=<authzid>}INBOX

authcid = authentication id <cyrus admin>
authzid = authorization id

The idea is for c-client to use the plain mech.  So, you need to turn
cram-md5 off on the cyrus server side and the session needs to run over
tls/ssl.

Hope this helps.
