Changing the Default User Manager

Introduction

Changing the default user manager after installing K2 involves multiple steps, mainly to change the connection strings throughout the platform but also to register the default user manager in the database. These topics detail what needs to change for switching the default user manager, and use AD to SQL as the example but the steps would be similar for AD to Custom.

Note: Existing, deployed processes rely on string tables versus Environment Library variables. Ensure that you update these string tables, as appropriate, with the same connection information used for updating the Environment Library variables.

Important: The steps in this section should be done at the same time. A K2 server restart is necessary after all the changes have been made.

It is recommended that before changing to a new default provider, at least one user from that provider has been granted administration rights on the K2 server.

Follow the steps below, in order, to change the default user manager.
