sasldb
This stores passwords in the SASL secrets database, the same database that stores the secrets for shared secret methods. Its principal advantage is that it means that the passwords used by the shared secrets mechanisms will be in sync with the plaintext password mechanisms. However, system built-in routines will not use sasldb.
Note that to set plaintext passwords in sasldb, you need to configure "saslpasswd" to do so. The "saslpasswd" uses the same configuration files like any SASL server. Make /usr/lib/sasl/saslpasswd.conf contain the line "pwcheck_method: sasldb" to instruct "saslpasswd" to create plaintext secrets in addition to the normal secrets.
