I've worked out a solution with a workflow using K2. The K2 server runs on one of our network servers. In development it worked fine. I'm using asp.net and using the K2ROM to connect an aspx page to the workflow. It again worked when i got on our webserver and ran it from that machine. (On the wwwroot). The aspx application sits on our webserver as the K2 server is on another physical server. The application has now been put into a sites directory which is accessible on the web. When a user now attempts to kick off the process from the web we encounter this error. Authentication with the server failed. It stops on this line:

K2connection.Open("servername")


what do i need to do to get this working?

Please have a look at the following Knowledge Base article: http://kb.k2workflow.com/Articles/KB000098.aspx

I've looked through the article and i have checked versioning to start. We have SP2a on our K2 server and SP1 for windows 2003. I have no trouble connecting to the server until i attempt to connect to the server from the web address. I'm not sure if SSL has any play in this, but the site that the process gets kicked off from is SSL secured. Creating a user did not solve it for me, where do i look next? :oops:

Have you enabled Kerberos authentication? If not, you will have to do so since your web app and K2.net is on two different servers. Please have a look at: http://kb.k2workflow.com/Articles/KB000030.aspx

SSL can cause other problems but I think SSL will throw other certificate/security related errors.
