Hello,
Thank you for the bug report. I can confirm Ubuntu does not currently support
the httpform auth mechanism. I reproduced this with the following in both 22.04
and 22.10:
# lxc launch images:ubuntu/jammy test-saslauthd
# lxc exec test-saslauthd bash
# apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y
# apt install sasl2-bin
# saslauthd -v
It seems that it would be relatively easy to add this to Ubuntu if
needed. Is there anything specific you require this authentication
mechanism for instead of the other available ones?

== On Ubuntu jammy
/usr/sbin/saslauthd -v
