Ah I see..

the auxprop plugins I have written often get 2 properties but I thought
the second was CMU specific thing.

userPassword and cmusaslsecret(what ever) .
So for all those people who might want to use this they just need
to set a property in ldap or mysql of cmusaslsecret(MECHNAME) (in case
of mysql you %p the select statement to make sure it gets the correct
thing).
