I had to reinstall K2 to get the K2SPS.dll component to (The WSS site was installed after K2). Now I get this error:

Authentication with server failed
InitializeSecurityContext failed: 0x80090322

I get this error when I try to export or run the K2 service manager. It had been working previous to this but now upon reinstall it doesn't.

Does anyone know where this InitializeSecurityContext error is coming from?

This is a typical error message when authentication issues exist.

Are you running Windows 2003 SP1 on the server? In this case, refer to the http://kb.k2workflow.com/Articles/KB000098.aspx knowledgebase article (note that only k2.net 2003 sp2 is compatible with Windows 2003 Server SP1)

Is SPS and K2 on the same server or on different servers? If on different servers, you may need to enable Kerberos delegation in your environment. There is also a KB article describing this procedure - http://kb.k2workflow.com/Articles/KB000030.aspx, although you may want to contact your local K2.net office to obtain the latest version of this procedure.

Thank you Neil. It appears that the client applied some hot fix to the server reverting it back to Win2003 Server SP1. By changing the security package to Kerberos it seemed to fix the problem. I appreciate your response.
