You must lack something.

I have to correct myself for the following:

LOGIN is possible too. You need a proof?

I first was tricked because nowhere in documentation I found that it is
needed to escape the @ in user at realm in the form user\@realm. So with
the properly base64 encoded strings LOGIN auth successes, using auxprop
