My scenario is to develop a process using blackpearl which would have both type of users internal to the company and external. For internal we will use AD and for external we want to use username and password to authenticate stored in sql db. Please let me know is that MUM , I need to go for ??? How can I implement this ? I could not find any help online. Could you please share any relevant URL.

K2's Multi-User Manager (MUM) is a hybrid of the SQL UM and AD, allowing you to reference users from both sources. I think it was only available in K2.net(old version)


In Blackpearl, you have an option of ADUM, SQLUM and Custom UM. Custom User Managers cannot be used with Microsoft SharePoint or Microsoft InfoPath.


SQLUM can be selected as the Security Provider when initially installing K2 blackpearl, or the system can be reconfigured post installation. SQLUM requires that the K2 default installation port be used. If no AD Service is found on the K2 Server host machine, the User Manager Settings configuration screen will present the option to install the K2 SQL user manager.


If you want to implement Custom UM, refer to the following links:
