Cyrus-sasl will use either the /etc/passwd (PLAIN, LOGIN mechanisims only),
sasldb (PLAIN, LOGIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, ...), Kerberos IV & V, or PAM
for authentication. This depends on how you have "sasl_pwcheck_method" set
in the imapd.conf file.
To add users to the sasldb, you need to use:
saslpasswd -c <user>
