Cyrus + Ldap + sasl question

[Scott Likens]

Hi Sergio,

Unfortunately it's not possible to use CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 without  
the plaintext password available to compare it with.

... Unless there is some patch or something I was not aware of, i've  
seen attempts in the past to bridge this gap.  so I doubt there is  
anything currently updated, however I suggest you to use ldapdb if you  
are not already.
