Issue Description
When attempting to assign a Managed By user to a user in a multiple domain environment, an error occurs. This occurs in the scenario where the K2 Server user is part of the first domain and the Managed By user is being assigned to a user in the second domain.
Error Message
The error message is similar to the following:
An Active Directory error has occurred.
Details:
LDAP Message LDAP_CONSTRAINT_VIOLATION
Description There was a constrain violation
Cause
When ManagedBy is being set in the code, it uses the Principal Domain Context of the K2 Server Service account and this prevented using the users from a different domain.
Resolution
- Ensure you have K2 4.7 installed.
- Download and install the K2 4.7 August 2017 Cumulative Update from K2 Partner and Customer Portal.
- Get the K2 4.7 August 2017 Cumulative Update FP14 from Regional Support.
- Install the K2 4.7 August 2017 Cumulative Update FP14 to apply the fix.
