Install Workflow Manager Client



You must consider the following two key factors before configuring Workflow Manager to work with SharePoint Server 2013.

·         Is Workflow Manager installed on a server that is part of the SharePoint farm?

·         Will communication between Workflow Manager and SharePoint Server 2013 use HTTP or HTTPS?

These factors translate into four scenarios. Each scenario configures a SharePoint Server 2013 farm to communicate and function with the Workflow Manager farm. Follow the scenario that matches your circumstance.

1. Workflow Manager is installed on a server that is part of the SharePoint 2013 farm. Communication takes place by using HTTP.

2. Workflow Manager is installed on a server that is part of the SharePoint 2013 farm. Communication takes place by using HTTPS.

3. Workflow Manager is installed on a server that is NOT part of the SharePoint 2013 farm. Communication takes place by using HTTP.

4. Workflow Manager is installed on a server that is NOT part of the SharePoint 2013 farm. Communication takes place by using HTTPS.

 Download Workflow Manager Client from  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588(v=office.15)#section4

Install the Workflow Manager Client on each server in the SharePoint farm.

On SharePoint Server open Internet Explorer type:

http://NameWFServer.Domain:12291/ or https://NameWFServer.Domain:12290/


If it is successfully configured Workflow Manager displays the following result

Register Workflow Service


On APP Server log in as SharePoint Administrator, open the SharePoint Management Shell as an administrator and run this command.

For http communication:

Register-SPWorkflowService –SPSite "http://NameSiteColection" –WorkflowHostUri "http://NameWFServer.Domain:12291/" –AllowOAuthHttp

For https communication:

Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "https://NameSiteColection" -WorkflowHostUri "https://NameWFServer.Domain:12290"
