Cannot register WorkflowManagerService

Question

Hi,

i have a problem with registering the WF-Manager-Service.
I freshly installed the WorkFlowManager (+CU5) with no error on my App-Server.
When i try to register the service, i get the following error:

Register-SPWorkflowService : Failed to query the OAuth S2S metadata endpoint at URI 'https://ksi-intranet.knapp.com/_layouts/15/metadata/json/1'. Error details: 'An error occurred while sending the

For your issue, run the below command before running the Register-SPWorkflowService command:

$config = (Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig)  
$config.AllowOAuthOverHttp = $true  
$config.AllowMetaDataOverHttp = $true  
$config.Update()  

After that try rerun the command:

Register-SPWorkflowService -SPSite "http://myportal.mydomain.com" -WorkflowHostUri http://spwfm.mydomain.com:12291 –AllowOAuthHttp
