Hi Dan,

I'm sorry to respond to this thread so late, ...

I fail to recognize the RFC definition of SASL allowing the return of "OK: 
<authorization ID>", but perhaps I'm completely looking in the wrong 
direction...

Could you elaborate on where SASL is allowed / providing said canonification?

For Cyrus IMAP implementations I've done so far, I've needed a patch against 
the application(!, Cyrus IMAP in this case) to use a ptclient method/client 
library capable of handling the desired (LDAP) functionality.

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
