cryus sasl + courier authdaemond

Has any gotten the cyrus sasl package to authenticate via courier authdaemond?  We have postfix + courier-imap setup to authenticate against LDAP (all works so far).  The last piece is to enable postfix to do smtp auth against LDAP.  I figured the easiest way would be to have cyrus sasl talk to authdaemond (since it already talks to ldap) - but I could be wrong...

I've tried several things and can't seem to get it to work.

I have added the following to the PKGBUILD

./configure   <snip>  --with-authdaemond=/var/spool/authdaemon/socket

I have modified /user/lib/sasl2/smtp.conf

pwcheck_method: authdaemond
mech_list: plain login
log_level: 7
authdaemond_path: /var/spool/authdaemon/socket

I left /etc/conf.d/saslauthd alone

SASLAUTHD_OPTS="-m /var/state/saslauthd -a pam"

When I start /etc/rc.d/saslauthd and use the cyrus test tool it authenticates against pam.  So obviously I need to change the -a to a different mechanism  - but what?  I've tried several other but no luck.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Re: cryus sasl + courier authdaemond

nevermind.....

It turns out I can't use the testsasl tool.  Instead when I configure postfix to use sasl it works.

Also, turned off saslauthd daemon as it is not needed by postfix....
