as far as i can read in that dockerfile on a first view, it does only install 
dependencies and "activating" SSL/TLS, but lacks any kind of further required 
configuration for cyrus auth etc.

the flexibility and complexity of cyrus installations are not easy to 
"capsule" into a docker file or reciept for a "common usage".

depending on what kind of authentication subsystem (i.e. mysql, pam, ldap, 
pam_mysql, sasl, saslauthd (with pam or other "backend") you want to use or 
even active AD or others you have to configure that by hand (or extend that 
docker file).

a typical "easy" way is using saslauthd with -s pam to "simply" use pam 
authentication.


hth,



niels.
