Cyrus IMAP server pop3s SSL/TLS authentication

Hi, all.

I am having trouble authenticating to Cyrus IMAP using the pop3s port. 
 I would like to use SSL/TLS and pop for my user community.

I am using Berkeley DB as my database store (v. 4.2.52).

Are there separate databases that store id/pass information?  I have 
assumed up to now that everything would use /etc/sasldb2.  I also 
thought that the "appname" argument in the saslpasswd2 might be 
relevant, but it didn't list what the values might be.
 
"saslpasswd [-p] [-d] [-c] [-n] [-f file] [-u domain] [-a appname] userid"


I tried with cyrus/tree from the system and rat/Rat_F1nk from my pop3s 
client, but neither worked.

Any help would be much appreciated.

...john
