Install Workflow Manager certificates in SharePoint

Under some circumstances, you must obtain and install Workflow Manager 'issuer' certificates on SharePoint Server. Here are the circumstances where you must install Workflow Manager certificates:

1. If SSL is enabled either on SharePoint Server (which is not the default) or on Workflow Manager (which is the default), AND

2. If SharePoint Server and Workflow Manager do not share a Certificate Authority, AND

3. If Workflow Manager is configured to generate self-signed certificates (which is the default).

Note

Product trial, workflow development, and troubleshooting are easier if SSL is not enabled. However, communication between SharePoint Server and Workflow Manager is not encrypted if SSL is not enabled. For this reason, SSL should be enabled for production configurations.

To obtain and export certificates from the Workflow Manager server

1. On a computer that has Workflow Manager installed, choose IIS Manager, Sites. Right-click Workflow Management Site, and then choose Edit Bindings.

2. Choose the https port, and then choose Edit. Choose the View button in the SSL Certificate section.

We might face a scenario of removing a node from existing workflow manager(WFM) farm and add it back during troubleshooting with WFM farm or Service Bus(SB) farm.

In those scenarios, we might lose/forget the Certificate Generation key which is mandatory to be entered while we select the option of 'Join to an Existing Workflow Manager Farm'. We have also seen engineers rebuilding the farm considering this as a road blocker to join the node back to existing farm.

We need to reset this Certificate Generation Key for WFM and SB separately following below steps.

Reset Certificate Generation Key for WFM using WFM PowerShell:

Note: 'WFM$amplepwd1' is the new key we are going to set.

$CertKey=convertto-securestring 'WFM$amplepwd1' -asplaintext -force

Set-WFCertificateAutoGenerationKey -WFFarmDBConnectionString 'Data Source=lmc-vsqlp06;Initial Catalog=WFManagementDB;Integrated Security=True;Encrypt=False' -key $CertKey -Verbose

-Update SB CertificateAutoGenerationKey

$mycert=ConvertTo-SecureString -string LMCSharepointProd1 -force -AsPlainText

Set-SBCertificateAutogenerationKey -SBFarmDBConnectionString 'Data Source=lmc-vsqlp06;Initial Catalog=SBManagementDB;Integrated Security=True;Encrypt=False' -key $mycert -Verbose

-Now provide the new Certificate Generation Key (WFM$amplepwd1 in our case) in WFM configuration wizard (and SB configuration wizard) which should accept your new key

-All services started running. To apply the changes, we ran 3 more commands
