Hi


I'm looking for some information and examples on how to implement forms authentication in K2.net 2003. I'm busy writing a application where some users are windows authenticated, and some are forms authenticated. I would like to know how the workspace will handle this, and any pitfalls to lookout for.

The most common example can be found by downloading the K2 SQL User Manager (SQLUM). It implements a simple SQL database table-driven user/group model that web pages can use to authenticate to, use for setting process permissoins, and define task assignments/routing via K2Studio.


After the SQLUM install and configuring user acocunts, the K2 Workspace will look to use the site's "login.htm" file to capture domain/user/password to pass to K2 to authenticate to.


You can download it from the K2 Portal.

But as I understand it, SQLUM overwrites the NT authentication, and only works with SP1?


We are going SP4, so I'd like to clarify those two issues before I continue with SQLUM.
