Originally called OVSEC_KADM_API_VERSION_1. 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, and +KADM5_API_VERSION_1 is compatible with OVSEC_KADM_API_VERSION_1 at +compile-, link-, and run-time. + +The OVSEC_KADM name compatibility will not be extended to new +functionality in future versions because no existing OVSEC_KADM +clients will use that functionality; new clients should be written to +the KADM5 API. \item[KADM5_API_VERSION_2] This version contains the initial changes necessary to make the OpenVision administration system work with the mid-1996 MIT version of Kerberos 5. 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.
