Consolidation to Multi-Auth

It is now possible to configure a single K2 smartforms site with multiple authentication providers. In the past if you required multiple authentication methods for your SmartForms sites you needed to create a copy of your SmartForms site for each authentication method. This document describes the steps necessary to consolidate these multiple sites into a single site that uses multi-auth.

Should I consolidate?

Before you make the decision to consolidate your SmartForms sites to a single site, review the Introduction to Multi-Auth document to understand if a single Multi-Auth enabled site meets your needs. In some cases it may be desirable to continue having multiple sites rather than consolidate to a single site. If you prefer having separate sites, please refer to the Upgrading Secondary Runtime Sites topic.
