Symptoms
Unable to connect to sharepoint 2013 server
Diagnoses
I am new to k2 blackpearl and came into a dev environment that was already setup. I am now trying to connect a workflow to a prod 2013 SharePoint server. However when I attempt to connect to the server in the Context Browser when creating my workflow, I get an access denied error. Do I need to install or run the setup manager on the 2013 SharePoint server to connect?

Unable to connect to sharepoint 2013 server. Hi,
I am new to k2 blackpearl and came into a dev environment that was already setup. I am now trying to connect a workflow to a prod 2013 SharePoint server. However when I attempt to connect to the server in the Context Browser when creating my workflow, I get an access denied error. Do I need to install or run the setup manager on the 2013 SharePoint server to connect?
Resolution:
Sharepoint 2013 is not fully supported with K2 BlackPearl 4.6.6. You need to have the Site running under 2010 compatibility mode. Starting with K2 BlackPearl 4.6.7 you can use SharePoint 2013 sites to interact with K2 in full mode. The next link explains which components are not support with SharePoint 2013 sites:
