SharePoint 2016 - Part Eight: Register Workflow Service Proxy

Before reading this article, please go through the previous parts.

• SharePoint 2016 - Part One - Installing WorkFlow Manager
• SharePoint 2016 - Part Two - Installation Of Web Platform
• SharePoint 2016 - Part Three - Installing of Workflow Manager 1.0
• SharePoint 2016 - Part Four - Apply CU3 To Workflow Manager 1.0 CU2
• SharePoint 2016 - Part Five -Configuration Of Workflow Manager
• SharePoint 2016 - Part Six -Configuration of Workflow Manager Client.
• SharePoint 2016 - Part Seven – Build Trust between Workflow Manager & SharePoint farm.

After completing the steps in all server parts, now  it's time to proceed with the final step to register the workflow proxy.

In this Wiki article, we will walk through the steps to register workflow Service Proxy with SharePoint Server 2016.

Let's Start

There are two options to configure the Workflow service to be used by the SharePoint host. You can use Http or Https. I am going to quote both example here in case you need them.

For Https

• Please, login on the SharePoint Server (I picked the App server where Central Admin is hosted).
• Open the SharePoint PowerShellwindow ( Run as Administrator)
• In the PowerShell console type this command
  
  Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "http//kfsp.krossfarm.com9101/sites/workflow" -WorkflowHostUri "http//kf-spw.krossfarm.com12290"
  
  
• SPSite URL of Site collections.
• WorkflowHostURI Workflow Host URI is the url of the Workflow site. This is just a site collection URL from the SharePoint site.

This will configure the Workflow service being used by SharePoint Host over Https.

Note

We just need to run this command one time for one farm.

For Http

• Please, login on the SharePoint Server (I picked the App server where Central Admin is hosted).
• Open the SharePoint PowerShell window
• In the PowerShell console type this command
  
  Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "http//kfsp.krossfarm.com/sites/workflow" -WorkflowHostUrihttp//kf-spw.krossfarm.com12291 -AllowOAuthHttp -Force
  
  
• SPSite URL of Site collections.
• WorkflowHostURI Workflow Host URI is the url of the Workflow site. This is just a site collection URL from the SharePoint site.
• AllowOAuthHttpSupport OAuth over HTTP.

This will configure the SharePoint Host to use the Workflow Service by OAuth.

Note

We just need to run this command only one time for one farm.

Do a quick check to make sure it registers properly. Go to Central Admin and make sure Workflow Proxy is included into the default proxy groups.

Finally, we successfully installed and configured the workflow manager 1.0 with all its components. Now, the last thing is we have to verify our deployment. For that,   please follow the last part of this series.
