Cannot log into cyrus using IMAP

[Eric B.]

Hi,

I've just installed Postfix compiled with SASL2 and Cyrus-SASL / Cyrus-Imap
onto a WBEL3 server.  I rebuilt both the cyrus-sasl and imap pkgs myself, so
I am certain that they were built with the same version of db4.  When I try
to test my cyrus-Imapd connection with "cyradm", I am failing.  I am getting
an error "perl: No worthy mechs found.".  I'm somewhat new to all this, so
am not sure what this means.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Right now, I have the following packages installed:
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.18-1
cyrus-sasl-2.1.18-1
cyrus-sasl-gssapi-2.1.18-1
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.18-1
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.18-1
cyrus-imapd-utils-2.2.3-8
cyrus-imapd-2.2.3-8
postfix-2.1.1.1-1 (compiled for MySQL, sasl2, VDA)


I am following the Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO.  My command line is the
following:
> saslpasswd2 -c cyrus
> Password: secret
> Again (for verification): secret

When I try to connect with cyradm:
> cyradm --user cyrus --server localhost --auth plain
> Password: secret
> IMAP Password: secret

I get the following errors in my /var/log/auth.log:

[127.0.0.1] plaintext cyrus SASL(-13): authentication failure: checkpass

Like I said, I'm somewhat new to all this, so do not entirely understand
what these log messages are telling me.  What does "No worthy mech found"
mean?  Secondly, why would I get a pam_mysql: select returned an invalid
encrypted password?  I'm trying to use plain passwords for the moment, until
I am certain everything is working.  My passwords in my MySql DB are in
plain text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Eric
