The Default User Manager

When you install K2, Active Directory (AD) is typically configured as the default user manager. If K2 Setup Manager does not detect AD, you must select SQLUM as your default user manager.

Once you install, you cannot change the user manager without reconfiguring K2. If you installed with AD and need to now use SQL as your user manager, you must disable or remove AD from your environment and then rerun the K2 Setup Manager. When AD is not detected, the Setup Manager allows you choose SQL as the user manager. If you rejoin a domain and have AD in the environment again, run the K2 Setup Manager to reconfigure K2.

After you install K2 with either Active Directory or SQL as the default user manager, you can configure more user managers. You can control which user managers can be used to log in to K2 by checking the Use for Login option on your claims issuer. If you only have one issuer marked as Use for Login, users logging into K2 do not have a choice for using a different user manager to login.
You can find information about configuring this in the in the K2 Management Claims and Issuers topics in the K2 User Guide.
