Good day,

 

how to configure different URLs with different authentication issuers on the same environment?

 

for instance, I need to configure https://k2W.denallix.com to use windows integrated authentication 

while https://k2F.denallix.com to use form based authentication

and https//k2AAD.denallix.com to use Azure active directory authentication 

and all of the above URLs are on the same environment

Hello,

What you are likely looking for is having multiple Issuers that where “Use for Login” is enabled for.

Such that when you browse to any of the K2 sites (Designer, Workspace, Management), it will prompt the user to select the desired login method:

You will likely need to configure the Claims and Realms mapping also.

 

For the AAD Issuer, you can usually upload the K2 for SharePoint app to SharePoint Online App Catalog and run the Registration wizard, which will register the AAD Issuer for you.

Or there is also a manual way of configuring it:

Please also note that when you have different Security Labels, such as K2:DOMAIN\bob and AAD:bob@domain.com, this is seen as different users in K2, even if this is an AD account and AAD account for Bob:

Hello,

 

thank you for your reply.

 

this is correct for the same URL of the K2 site but with different authentication providers.

 

my requirement is to have a different URLs for each provider.

 

example: 

Original K2 Site URL: https://K2.denallix.com

new URL that works only for Forms auth : https://K2Froms.denallix.com

regards,
