Where in the configure file does this go? Would it be something in
authenticators like this?:

fixed_cram:
    driver = cram_md5
    public_name= CRAM-MD5
    server_condition=${if and    {\
                                        {!eq{$1}{}}\
                                        {!eq{$2}{}}\
                                        {pam{$1:${sg{$2}{:}{::}}}}\
                                }\
                {yes}{no}}
    server_set_id = $1

That's pretty simple. That's the entire contents?
