Re: Can't authorize as different user in cyradm and sieveshell

This works for me under v2.4.18.  I'm able to run sieveshell against a 
frontend or backend authenticating as a cyrus "admins" user or a 
"proxyservers" user (on the backend).

Against a frontend:

# sieveshell -u morgan -a cyrus imap.onid.oregonstate.edu
connecting to imap.onid.oregonstate.edu
Please enter your password:
> list
onid-web
real  <- active script
> quit


Against a backend:

# sieveshell -u morgan -a cyr_proxy cyrus-be1.onid.oregonstate.edu
connecting to cyrus-be1.onid.oregonstate.edu
Please enter your password:
> list
onid-web
real  <- active script
> quit


My imapd.conf settings:

admins: cyrus
allowplaintext: 0
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN
sasl_minimum_layer: 0
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sieve_allowreferrals: 0
sieve_allowplaintext: 1


Have you tried using the "sivtest" program?  It will show you the protocol 
handshakes, which might help.  Here is an example for me:

# sivtest -u morgan -a cyrus localhost
S: "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved (Murder) v2.4.18"
S: "SASL" "PLAIN"
S: "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags 
notify envelope body relational regex subaddress copy"
S: "STARTTLS"
S: "UNAUTHENTICATE"
S: OK
Please enter your password:
C: AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" {28+}
<redacted>
S: OK
Authenticated.
Security strength factor: 0
C: LOGOUT
OK "Logout Complete"
Connection closed.
