Resolution

Both Sharepoint and K2 sites will need to be configured for HTTPS/HTTPS or alternatively HTTP/HTTP? As per the "Software and Hardware Requirements > SSL Requirements" section in the documentation below:

http://help.k2.com/onlinehelp/K2ForSharePoint/ICG/4.6.10/default.htm

If a mix-matched protocols were used, you will either need to reconfigure Sharepoint or K2 to use a matching protocol (for K2, this can be done by configuring the bindings for desire protocol and then rerunning both the "K2 Blackpearl Setup Manager" and the "K2 Smartforms Setup Manager" and selecting the appropriate "Bindings" as per the "Software and Hardware Requirements > SSL Requirements" section.

If you wish to configure both for HTTP, please see the "Software and Hardware Requirements > SSL Requirements > Workaround for configuring a K2 for SharePoint On-Premises for non-SSL based connections" section in the documentation abvoe regarding the necessary Sharepoint powershells that needs to be run and the default environment library settings.

In native Sharepoint 2013 Apps integration, there is two "App Parts" that can be added to a page:

- K2 Worklist App Part
- K2 Form Viewer App Part

Please see the "Add the K2 App Parts to a SharePoint Site" section in the documentation below:
