Hi Pisit38,


 


Please check the connection string that you have set up and make sure the information is correct, credentials could be configured incorrectly.


Please follow the link below:

Hi,


 


Out of curiousity, are you try to open a connection/impersonate another user via K2 APIs? I believe semicolons are reserved characters. I have seen something similar in the past when password containing semicolon (;), comma (,) and/or equal sign (=) are not supported. Perhaps, this KB might help, help.k2.com/kb002248.
