Symptoms

  • This issue only occurs on a K2 environment that has multiple domains integrated
  • Active Directory trusts have already been established between the domain K2 environment is in, and the other domains
  • After attempting the solution provided in this KB, the issue persists.

Troubleshooting Steps

Since only users from specific domains are affected, the only possible cause for this is the other domains are not properly configured in the K2 security label. The most direct way to check the multiple domain configuration is via the [HostServer].[SecurityLabel] table in your K2 database.

 

 

Please make sure to perform a backup of your current K2 database before making any changes to it.

 

On your [HostServer].[SecurityLabel] table, look for your K2 security label, and check the following:

 

  • Make sure the AuthInit property for the 'K2' security label has all the domains' NETBIOS specified correctly.

  • Make sure the NETBIOS specified in AuthInit matches the NETBIOS specified in RoleInit's connection string

  • Make sure the MultiDomain property in RoleInit is set to True

If you need to update any of the above, please make sure to stop your K2 service first, before you update the value in the SecurityLabel table. Once you have updated the values, you will need to restart your K2 service for the changes to take effect.
