Strange Sieve Behaviour

[Darron Froese]

Sorry - I know this may be a little off-topic - but I'm really stuck  
and wondering if anybody else here has seen this before.

System: RHEL 4, Apache 2.0.52 w/PHP 4.3.9, Cyrus 2.3.7 from Simon  
Matter's rpms.
Setup: Horde: 3.1.2, Imp: H3 (4.1.2), Ingo: H3 (1.1.1), SAM 0.1-cvs

Basic summary: I cannot authenticate my users to the Sieve server  
through Ingo (Horde/IMP's filter manager which user PEAR's  
Net::Sieve) unless their password is the same as the cyrus admin user.

I applied this patch - because I was having problems after enabling  
TLS in Cyrus and no Sieve worked at all:

http://www.kolab.org/pipermail/kolab-devel/2006-June/005636.html

At this moment, my user works - because the password for me and the  
cyrus admin user is the same - no other usernames work with saving  
sieve rules to the server through Ingo - but they can all connect  
just fine with sivtest and sieveshell.

I just tried with the user bob and got this in the logs while  
accessing from Ingo:

Jul 27 15:40:26 fenring sieve[4037]: badlogin: localhost.localdomain 
[127.0.0.1] PLAIN authentication failure

But I can log in through IMP and sivtest just fine:

[root at fenring darron]# sivtest -u bob -a bob localhost
S: "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.3.7-Invoca-RPM-2.3.7-2"
S: "SASL" "PLAIN"
S: "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation  
imapflags notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy"
S: "STARTTLS"
S: OK
Please enter your password:
C: AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" {20+}
Ym9iAGJvYgBqb25lcw==
S: OK
Authenticated.
Security strength factor: 0

That's with his normal password - if I change the password to be the  
same as the cyrus admin user, it works fine here (as it should) and  
in Ingo:

Jul 27 15:45:47 fenring sieve[4412]: login: localhost.localdomain 
[127.0.0.1] bob PLAIN User logged in

Does it have something to do with the "-a" flag in sivtest and  
sieveshell? Is there any way to make Ingo use it?

Anyone else seen this?
