K2 Course Client Options

InfoPath customer applications cannot use a information connexion (UDCX) that is configured to use the Web service proxy – this only works for IPFS forms. Unfortunately, the UDCX does not support the option to use the Web service proxy from IPFS and not apply the proxy from InfoPath Client – it is locked to one or the other. Therefore, the selection that K2 integration provides to enable the Grade Customer to employ "InfoPath, Web browser if InfoPath not bachelor" cannot be supported for InfoPath forms on claims authentication sites. This event has been logged with Microsoft but a resolution is outstanding.

If this option is selected, the data connection will be configured to only support InfoPath client when deploying to a claims authentication site. The form will not function properly if opened in the browser. If browser back up is desired on a claims authentication site, you must select Web browser and redeploy your solution.
