Great!

There is a request for doing similar conversion for the username and
realm as well, see:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.gsasl.general/139

Have you encountered similar issues on your server?

I'm trying to understand whether changing the code to do the
transformation on username and realm may cause problems for you if you
have actual users with latin-1 username/realms.  I suspect your problem
was merely that gsasl aborted the authentication, not that latin-1
passwords were handled incorrectly.  Could you test a patch if I make
one?
