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:
