This is a result of Cyrus trying to use the /usr/lib/sasl2/pwauxprop
SASL plugin. It appears that this plugin handles password policies such
as minimum length and whether the user has to have numbers in the
password or not. Use of this plugin requires reading in the password
server database in /var/db/authserver. When DirectoryServices calls
this plugin it's running as root, so it can easily read the database
in. However, Cyrus runs as the cyrus user which has no ability to read
that file. As such the plugin fails. Since cyrus has no need to check
password policy, you don't really have a way to change your pass
through Cyrus, this isn't an issue.

Thanks,

Joel
