Hi Yuval,

Perhaps, you can export the webservice defintion to a .wsdl file and point your webservice broker to it, see below steps.

Test scenario:

GeocoderService free webservice from Tamu college.

https://geoservices.tamu.edu/Services/Geocode/WebService/GeocoderService_V04_01.asmx

1. Add ?wsdl to the end of the web service.

https://geoservices.tamu.edu/Services/Geocode/WebService/GeocoderService_V04_01.asmx?wsdl

2. Save the definition as a .wsdl file and copy to the K2 server (it doesn't seem to work with network drive from my test).

3. Register a new Endpoint Webservice and point to the location from step 2.

Hi Yuval

Thanks for the feedback.

When you register a Service Instance you need to tell K2 what authentication mode to use
The authentication mode determines what credentials are passed to the target system at runtime.

This doc shows detailed steps on how to select proper authentication mode(it's recommended to choose service account) that best suits your needs  https://help.k2.com/onlinetraining/bp1/default.htm#100EDI/Service-Instance-Authentication-Modes.htm

Also try to register your web service withboth URL and WSDL https://community.k2.com/t5/K2-blackpearl-Articles/How-to-register-Web-Service-endpoint-with-both-URL-and-WSDL-URL/ta-p/94895
