sieve/websive authentication problem

[Janos Dohanics]

Hello List,

I am unable to make sieve authentication work. Cyrus uses saslauthd for
authentication.

I can telnet to the sieve port:

# telnet localhost sieve
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.4.17"
"SASL" "PLAIN"
"SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy"
"STARTTLS"
"UNAUTHENTICATE"

Saslauthd seems to work:

# testsaslauthd -u mcsmith -p ********
0: OK "Success."

I can authenticate with Cyrus IMAP:

# imtest -a mcsmith
WARNING: no hostname supplied, assuming localhost

S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN SASL-IR] [mailserver] Cyrus IMAP v2.4.17 server ready

However, sivtest gives "Authentication Error":

# sivtest -a mcsmith

Please enter your password: 
C: AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" {24+}
AG1jc21pdGgAVGVscy1vZDY=
S: NO "Authentication Error"
Authentication failed. generic failure

Trying sieveshell:

# sieveshell -a mcsmith localhost
connecting to localhost
Please enter your password: 
unable to connect to server at /usr/local/bin/sieveshell line 170, <STDIN> line 1.

What am I missing?
