Upgrading Secondary SmartForms Runtime Sites

It is possible to configure a single K2 smartforms site with multiple authentication providers. (It is also possible to create a copy of your SmartForms site for each authentication method, as described in Configuring a secondary SmartForms Runtime site. In some cases it may be desirable to continue having multiple sites rather than consolidate to a single site.) This topic describes the steps necessary to upgrade these copied sites to the latest K2 version and reconfigure them for the appropriate authentication method using the Claims based / Realm model.

Before you make the decision to upgrade your copied sites, review the Multi-Auth providers topic to understand if a single Multi-Auth enabled site would meet your needs. If you want to consolidate refer to the Consolidation to Multi-Auth topic for detailed steps.
