Overview

There are two Rice implementations required for the upgrade standalone on embedded.  Due to version restrictions in KFS5.x the embedded version (the one the KFS employs locally) is version 2.1.9. The standalone version must be equal or greater than the KFS embedded version and we are using 2.3.6 in the standalone capacity.  To maintain consistency the LDAP, encryption, and attachments modifications are implemented in both versions.  The UConn specific modifications are required for existing workflow applications and are not used by KFS and therefore not required in the embedded version (2.1.9).
