\label{sec:configparams}
The KADM5 API acquires configuration information from the Kerberos
-configuration file (/etc/krb5.conf) and from the KDC configuration
-file (XXX/kdc.conf). The remote client libraries use the following
-variables: XXX. The local clients libraries use the following
-variables: XXX. The administration server and administration
-utilities (kadmin_create, etc.) may use other variables as defined in
-their functional specifications (XXX).

-In KADM5_API_VERSION_2, the configuration parameters used by the KADM5
-API can be controlled by the caller by providing a kadm5_config_params
-structure to kadm5_init:
+configuration file (\$KRB5_CONFIG or /etc/krb5.conf) and from the KDC
+configuration file (\$KRB5_KDC_CONFIG or DEFAULT_KDC_PROFILE). In
+KADM5_API_VERSION_2, some of the configuration parameters used by the
+KADM5 API can be controlled by the caller by providing a

+The following list describes each of the fields of the structure,
+along with the profile variable name it overrides, its mask value, its
+default value, and whether it is valid on the client, server, or both.
\begin{description}
-\item[mask] XXX document all the fields! (once I decide which ones
-will actually be used)
-
-\item[realm] The realm to which these parameters apply, and the realm
-for which additional parameters are to be acquired, if any. If this
-field is not specified in the mask (XXX awk), the default local ream
-is used.
+\item[mask] No variable. No mask value. A bitfield specifying which
+fields of the structure contain valid information. A caller sets this
+mask before calling kadm5_init_*, indicating which parameters are
+specified. The mask values are defined in $<$kadm5/admin.h$>$ and are
+all prefixed with KADM5_CONFIG_; the prefix is not included in the
+descriptions below.
+
+\item[realm] No variable. REALM. Client and server. The realm to
+which these parameters apply, and the realm for which additional
+parameters are to be acquired, if any. If this field is not specified
+in the mask, the default local realm is used.
+
+\item[profile] Variable: profile (server only). PROFILE. Client and
+server. The Kerberos profile to use. On the client, the default is
+the value of the KRB5_CONFIG environment variable, or /etc/krb5.conf
+if that is not set. On the server, the value of the ``profile''
+variable of the KDC configuration file will be used as the first
+default if it exists; otherwise, the default is the value of the
+KRB5_KDC_PROFILE environment variable or DEFAULT_KDC_PROFILE.
+
+\item[kadmind_port] Variable: kadmind_port. KADMIND_PORT. Client and
+server. The port number the kadmind server listens on. The client
+uses this field to determine where to connect, and the server to
+determine where to listen. The default is 752 (XXX).
+
+\item[admin_server] Variable: admin_server. ADMIN_SERVER. Client.
+The host name of the admin server to which to connect. There is no
+default. If the value of this field contains a colon (:), the text
+following the colon is treated as an integer and assigned to the
+kadmind_port field, overriding any value of the kadmind_port variable.
+
+\item[dbname] Variable: dbname. DBNAME. Server. The Kerberos
+database name to use; the Kerberos database stores principal
+information. There is no default.
+
+\item[admin_dbname] Variable: admin_database_name. ADBNAME. Server.
+The administration database name to use; the administration database
+stores policy information. The default is the value of dbname
+followed by ``.kadm5'', if dbname is set.
+
+\item[admin_lockfile] Variable: admin_database_lockfile.
+ADB_LOCKFILE. Server. The administration database lock file name,
+used to lock the administration database. The default is admin_dbname
+followed by ``.lock'', if admin_dbname is set.
+
+\item[acl_file] Variable: acl_file. ACL_FILE. Server. The admin
+server's ACL file. No default.
+
+\item[dict_file] Variable: admin_dict_file. DICT_FILE. Server. The
+admin server's dictionary file of passwords to disallow. No default.
+
+\item[admin_keytab] Variable: admin_keytab. ADMIN_KEYTAB. Server.
+The keytab file containing the kadmin/admin and kadmin/changepw
+entries for the server to use. The default is the value of the
+KRB5_KTNAME environment variable, if defined.
+
+\item[stash_file] Variable: key_stash_file. STASH_FILE. Server. The
+file name containing the master key stash file. No default; libkdb
+will work with a NULL value.
+
+\item[mkey_name] Variable: master_key_name. MKEY_NAME. Server. The
+name of the master principal for the realm. No default; lbkdb will
+work with a NULL value.
+
+\item[enctype] Variable: master_key_type. ENCTYPE. Server. The
+encryption type of the master principal. No default.
+
+\item[max_life, max_rlife, expiration, flags] Variables: max_life,
+max_renewable_life, default_principal_expiration,
+default_principal_flags. MAX_LIFE, MAX_RLIFE, EXPIRATION, FLAGS.
+Server. Default values for new principals. All default to 0.
+
+\item[keysalts, num_keysalts] Variable: supported_enctypes. ENCTYPES.
+Server. The list of supported encryption type/salt type tuples; both
+fields must be assigned if ENCTYPES is set. No default.
