SharePoint 2013 Setting up workflow

With a new product comes new challenges. This is my first post and I hope that it helps 🙂

Simple process :

1. Login with account that has appropriate rights
2. Download the Windows Azure Workflow Installer
3. Install WF manager
4. Open WF manager configuration
5. Click Configure WFManager with custom settings
6. Follow the wizard
7. Always test you connection, just to be sure
8. When entering the USER ID use the FQDN else you will suffer the wrath of a Access Denied (401)
9. If your not only using HTTPS then tick the Allow workflow management over HTTP on this computer options is ticked
10. Service Bus Configuration, fill out necessary details
11. Click on the tick in the bottom right corner
12. Wait for the wizard to complete
13. Open up a powershell console window
14. Run : Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite http://xxxx/ -WorkflowHostUri http://xxxx:12291 –AllowOAuthHttp
15. Open Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications
16. At the bottom you will notice a new service application proxy -> Workflow Service Application Proxy
17. Click on it, if setup correctly it will display Workflow is Connected
