Hi, My problem is that I expect slapd to authenticate with the password stored in sasldb. But it's not, it uses the password stored in userpassword attribute of this user which is a item of openldap. So I want to know, how can slapd use password stored in sasldb to do the sasl authentication.

Why do you store a password in the directory if you don't make use of it? To delegate authentication to an external frame work, you should tell slapd to do so. Please read the admin guide, in particular section 14.5 Pass-Through authentication.
