Changes include \begin{enumerate} -\item Renaming of the API from OVSEC_KADM to KADM5. Most everything -has been renamed in one way or another, including functions, header -files, and data structures. Where possible, the old OVSEC_KADM names -have been left behind for compatibility with version 1. The -OVSEC_KADM name compatibility has not been extended to new -functionality in this version and will not be extended to future -versions. - \item The kadm5_init functions now take a structure of parameters instead of just a realm name, allowing the calling program to specify non-default values for various configuration options.
