DIGEST-MD5 has nothing to do with "sasl_pwcheck_method", which is affecting
only PLAIN mechanism. CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 will ALWAYS look into Auxiliary
Properties. So, the relevant config options are:

sasl_auxprop_plugin: <sasldb>|<sql>|<ldapdb>
sasl_sasldb_*
sasl_sql_*
sasl_ldapdb_*

Depending on your choice of AuxProp backend, you might require virtually none
(sasldb), some (sql) or a lot of configuring (ldapdb).

I'm strugling with LDAP-DB in MS ADS environment, at the moment. Banging
against walls.

Nix.
