It all depends on so many different things that it's hard to give a
general answer.

First of all, what password storage are you using? sasldb? PAM?
Kerberos? And so on.

Second, it can depend on the client. What encoding does the client use
when sending the password? If you can store the same byte sequence in
your storage backend, then things should work.

Since this is a general SASL question, you might want to ask on the
upstream mailing list. See
http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/cyrus-sasl for more
information.
