Whatever the appropriate SASL user id is for
however you've configured Cyrus SASL to check
passwords.

slapd(8) just passes the user id and password
to Cyrus SASL for verification (via the
sasl_checkpass(3) interface.  Whether or not its
possible to configure Cyrus SASL to use sasldb2,
and, if so, how, is a topic for the Cyrus
SASL list.
