This sounds almost like the initial problem I had getting
Postfix+SASL2 to auth against courier-authdaemond.

Does sqwebmaild have permission to read the authdaemond socket and
enclosing directory?

If not, fix that, e.g. by adding its user to the appropriate group
which owns the socket and directory.

I don't run SUSE so I can't help with that, but poke around in
/var/run and similar directories and see if you can find it. The
socket should reside in its own directory with limited access rights.
