Workspace Application Pool Configuration

The K2 Workspace Application Pool Configuration screen enables the user to create a new Application Pool for the K2 Workspace web service. If an Application Pool already exists, the option to use it will be shown. If an Application Pool does not already exist or a custom one is required, a new application pool can be created from the screen as shown below.

Validate the K2 Workspace Application Pool

After installing and configuring the K2 Workspace Application Pool, you can check a few things to ensure that the Runtime Web Services was set up properly:

	Open IIS
	Expand the Web sites section
	Expand the Web site that will be used to host the K2 Runtime Web Services
	Right click on the RuntimeServices virtual directory and select Properties
	Select the Virtual Directory tab
	Confirm that the Local Path points to [INSTALLDIR]\Webservices\Runtimeservices (For Example: C:\K2 blackpearl\Webservices\Runtimeservices)

It is advised to test the K2 Runtime Web Services on a client machine as well. If InfoPath is used on a client machine, it is further advised to use NTLM authentication instead of Negotiate authentication when using IIS7.
