K2 Management Console - Add Domains

When a new domain is added, it will not surface in K2 Workspace > User Manager automatically. The domain(s) must be added manually. The K2 blackpearl security label does surface automatically in K2 Workspace. Any additional domains required are added, edited or deleted manually. The default domain cannot be deleted.

Domains are added manually by a K2 Administrator and are added with reference to the Domain Controller. The NetBIOS Name of the machine must be provided along with the LDAP Path. Once the new Domain has been entered a K2 Server restart is required.

Field	Description
NetBIOS Name	The NetBIOS provides a Session layer interface between network applications running on a PC and the underlying protocol software of the Transport and Network layers on the ODI model. Normally a LAN protocol and surfaces as the primary name of the machine as represented on the local network.
LDAP Path	LDAP is a protocol that enables users to locate people, organizations, and other resources in an Internet Directory or intranet Directory. The LDAP Path can be thought of as a connection string to the Directory.

Modifying the Workspace Web Site

When using multiple domains it is also important to modify the Workspace Web site to authenticate for each domain. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open web.config file corresponding to the Workspace Web site, typically located at C:\Program Files\K2 blackpearl\Workspace\Site
2. Add a new AD Connection String in the connectionString section. For example:
   
   <add name="ADConnectionString2" connectionString="LDAP://Domain2.com" />
   
   
3. In the membership section add a new provider pointing to the newly added connection string. The name of the string needs to be unique and match the other example in Step 2. For example:
   
   

   <add connectionStringName="ADConnectionString2" connectionProtection="Secure"
   enablePasswordReset="false" enableSearchMethods="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
   applicationName="/" description="Default AD connection" requiresUniqueEmail="false"
   clientSearchTimeout="30" serverSearchTimeout="30" attributeMapUsername="sAMAccountName"
   name="AspNetActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider_Domain2" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider,System.Web,
   Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
