Hi John,
 
I have more or less the same set-up as you do, but on Windows box. Some time ago I came across the same issue. To my mind, that relates to a 'path' problem. I mean, SASL library path should be added to the 'path' env variable.
 
 Just to test for SASL mechanisms (on Windows):
 
a) pluginviewer.exe:

Installed SASL (server side) mechanisms are:
SRP PLAIN OTP NTLM LOGIN GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 ANONYMOUS EXTERNAL
 
b) run
ldapsearch -x -b "" -s base supportedSASLMechanisms
 
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope baseObject
# filter: (objectclass=*)
# requesting: supportedSASLMechanisms
#

#
dn:
supportedSASLMechanisms: SRP
supportedSASLMechanisms: OTP
supportedSASLMechanisms: NTLM
supportedSASLMechanisms: GSSAPI
supportedSASLMechanisms: DIGEST-MD5
supportedSASLMechanisms: CRAM-MD5

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2

Let know how you go.
 
Cheers,
 
Sergio.
