When you authenticate, you need to use a SASL mech which supports
proxying.  Look at doc/mechanisms.html in the SASL distro for a complete
list.  In your case, you should be able to use at least PLAIN (you can
use others if using OpenLDAP 2.2's auxprop plugin).  Here's how you'd
authenticate as 'cyrus' and login as 'test' using imtest and cyradm:

imtest -a cyrus -u test -m plain localhost

cyradm --user cyrus --authz test --auth plain localhost

(cyradm uses some unfortunate/confusing names for the options)
