==About==
[[saslauthd]] is a [[Simple Authentication and Security Layer|SASL]] [[authentication]] [[daemon]]. It works with [[Dovecot]] and [[Postfix]] but is (as far as I can tell) provided separately.

Configuration is in [[/saslauthd|/etc/default/saslauthd]].
==Testing==
testsaslauthd -u <u>username</u> -p <u>password</u>

This should be a system username, rather than a dovecot virtual username, if Dovecot is configured for virtual users.

==Notes==
Despite the existence of /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd if [[Postfix]] is installed, and a comment in the config file suggesting that OPTIONS can be set to use it, it actually is not happy with this, and will return this message:

connect() : No such file or directory

...if the Postfix version is used, instead of...

0: OK "Success."

...if the regular /var/run/saslauthd file is used.
