It's documented as 'sasl_option:' in the manpage.

All options beginning with sasl_, with the exception of sasl_maximum_layer
and sasl_minimum_layer, are retrieved by cyrus sasl via a callback.
Available options are listed here:

http://www.cyrussasl.org/docs/cyrus-sasl/2.1.25/options.php

For a discussion of mechanisms, see:

http://www.cyrussasl.org/docs/cyrus-sasl/2.1.25/components.php

If using the Ubuntu sasl packages, use saslpluginview to list available
plugins.
