How to use this matrix
Use this matrix to determine what products and versions of products are supported and compatible with various versions of K2. A check mark means that the listed product/version is supported by K2. If any product or version is not listed and not covered by the Product Support Policy, it is not supported. A missing check mark means that the listed product/version is not supported with that specific version of K2.

This matrix was last updated 13 October 2020.

Release Upgrade Compatibility

This upgrade compatibility matrix describes which versions of K2 ("Installed K2 version") can be upgraded to which later versions of K2 ("Version to be installed").
More...
If you have K2 installed with the K2 database in Azure SQL, you must upgrade to the next version of K2 versus jumping versions. For example, if you are on K2 blackpearl 4.7 and you wish to upgrade to K2 Five (5.3), you must first upgrade to K2 Five (5.0), then upgrade to K2 Five (5.1), then K2 Five (5.2), and finally, K2 Five (5.3).

Authentication (Identity Providers) Compatibility
This section lists which user identity providers can be used for inbound authentication with K2. For more on authentication in K2, see Authentication and Authorization in K2. K2 uses a concept called "user managers" to interact with identity providers; for more information on user managers in K2, see Introduction to User Managers in the installation and configuration guide. K2 Cloud uses OpenID Connect and can integrate with SCIM 2.0 identity providers for inbound authentication. If you have a SCIM 2.0-compliant and OpenID Connect-capable identity provider and do not see it listed in the supported identity providers below, please contact your K2 representative to have your identity provider assessed for future support.

  • K2 Cloud subscriptions require AAD and it is the only supported authentication mechanism for K2 cloud environments. You must have an AAD tenant before a K2 Cloud environment can be provisioned.
  • K2 Cloud subscriptions can leverage AAD or another supported Identity Provider (see details for other supported Identity Providers below).
  • Using AAD for authentication with K2 Cloud or K2 Five requires installation of the Azure Active Directory for K2 or K2 for Office 365 App. See the user guide topic Applications for more information.
  • Using AAD for authentication with K2 Cloud requires installation of the Azure Active Directory for K2 or K2 for Office 365 App.
  • Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is supported with AAD when ADFS is configured as described in the Microsoft article Azure AD Connect and federation. See Active Directory Federated Services (ADFS) for more information. ADFS enables using other identity providers (for example, Okta and Ping), if user UPNs from the identity provider are present in AAD via Azure AD connect. See the knowledge base article How To: Configure Okta to Log In to K2 Sites for an example.
  • K2 Cloud and K2 Five uses the Microsoft Windows Identity Foundation which means that only relying party trusts configured for the WS-FED protocol that issue SAML 1.1 or SAML 2.0 tokens are supported.

  • Design-time refers to using the available K2 browser-based design tools to build workflows, SmartObjects, SmartForms, and other K2 artifacts. These actions are performed by application builders. This table lists the web browsers that have been tested against the design-time usage of K2.
  • Microsoft ended support for IE 8 through 10 on 12 January 2016. Microsoft requires customers to be on certain versions of client operating systems, browsers, or .NET frameworks based on their new lifecycle policies. See Microsoft Internet Explorer Support Lifecycle Policy FAQ for more information.
  • It is not recommended to use private browsing modes (for example, Incognito, Private, InPrivate) when working with K2 at design-time. Doing so might result in unexpected behavior, which may include data loss.

  • The legacy K2 Workspace component is compatible with Internet Explorer, and it may not render or behave as expected in other web browsers. In addition, if you are using Internet Explorer 11, you must run IE in compatibility mode. See the knowledge base article Internet Explorer 11 workaround to allow K2 Workspace and K2 Process Portals to render correctly for more information.
  • Microsoft ended support for IE 8 through 10 on 12 January 2016. See the K2 technical bulletin on Internet Explorer for more details on what this means for K2 support.
