Diagnoses

The issue could appears if SharePoint is in HTTPS and K2 is in HTTP (or reverse).
 

Resolution

This issue was resolved by running the following Powershell script on the customers SharePoint server:

$stsc = Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig
$stsc.AllowMetadataOverHttp = $true
$stsc.AllowOAuthOverHttp= $true
$stsc.Update()

This allows the ability to use OAuth over http.
