Specify saslauthd state directory to imapd in build

[Andrew Bernard]

I am having trouble with getting imapd and saslauthd to work together on
Ubuntu 18.04, using the recent Cyrus imapd (3.0.7) and sasl (2.1.26)
releases. Using postfix (3.3.1), I have the saslauthd state directory in
/var/run/saslauthd (and also in the chroot'd postfix directory hierarchy).
For days I have had this error:

cyrus/imap[nnnn]: SASL cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or
directory

To come to the point, finally I ran strace on imapd and found it is trying
to open /var/state/saslauthd. I believe this is the default for saslauthd.

I am unable to decipher which configure options to build cyrus-imapd with
to change this directory name.

Any assistance most appreciated.

man 5 imapd.conf

sasl_option: 0
Any SASL option can be set by preceding it with "sasl_". This file
overrides the SASL configuration file.

And then see the documentation of saslauthd. Should ship with your
version locally. Anyhow

Little correction, it is the options.html file you should consult:
