Configure Windows Designers
You must update the configuration files and the connection to the Environment Library from K2 Studio and K2 for Visual Studio in order to see items in the context browser.
Update Configuration Files
It is necessary to change a line in the configurationmanager.config (location: <install drive>:\Program Files (x86) \K2 blackpearl\Configuration) for the user browser to render:
Change
 Copy Existing Code |

| <settings> <add key="UserBrowserServer" value="Integrated=True;IsPrimaryLogin=True;Authenticate=True;EncryptedPassword=False;Host=DEMO;Port=5555" /> </settings> |

| <settings> <add key="UserBrowserServer" value="Integrated=False;IsPrimaryLogin=True;Authenticate=True;EncryptedPassword=False;Host=DEMO;Port=5555; UserID=k2;Password=k2;SecurityLabelName=[K2SQL] /> </settings> |
The K2SQL node is now displayed in the Object and Context Browsers under the User Browser.
The following fields are available:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| The user’s email address. | |
| FQN | The users’s fully qualified name. |
| Manager | The user’s manager. |
| Name | The user's name. |
| Object SID | The Security ID of the user. |
Update Environment Library Connection
You must also update the connection to the Environment Library from K2 Studio and K2 for Visual Studio in order to see items in the context browser. This is done by clicking on the upper right corner of the Object Browser and clicking Change Server.
In the Change Environment Server Connection dialog that appears, type the connection string to connection to the server using the security label and user information.
| Copy Connection String |
|---|
| Integrated=False;IsPrimaryLogin=True;Authenticate=True;EncryptedPassword=False; Host=localhost;Port=5555;UserID=k2;Password=k2;SecurityLabelName=[K2SQL];AuthData=1 |
 |
The SecurityLabelName in the connection string is the SQL user manager name. Substitute the placeholder value [K2SQL] with the correct value for your system, for example DenallixPartners. |
Note: Each user should type in their username and password to connect to the Environment Library.
