Now, in this wiki article, we will add the Workflow Manager 1.0 Certificate into SharePoint trust. After this step, we will avoid almost all the errors related to certificates.

This is step 2 in the process. In step 1, we exported the certificate from Workflow Manager server and in this step, we will import that certificate into SharePoint and build a trust.

Before Begin

• Please make sure you log in on the server where Workflow Manager is installed with Install Account.

Export the Workflow Certificate.

• Login on the server with Install account( krossfarm\kfinst)
• Open Internet Information Services (IIS) by typing Inetmgr in the search window
• In Internet Manager, expand Sites (on left-hand side), click on Workflow Management Site and on the right-hand side under Actions click Bindings
  
• On this page, select https and click Edit 
• On this page under SSL Certificate, click View certificates
• Click on Details tab 
• Click Copy to File
• On Welcome to the Certificate Export Wizard click Next
• On Export Private Key select No, do not export the private key and click Next
• On Export File Format select DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER) and click Next
• On File to export select the path where the certificate will be saved and click Next
• On Completing the Certificate Export Wizard, click Finish
• You will get a message "The export was successful" and click OK
  

Move the File

Now move the certificate to the SharePoint Server.

Import Certificate into SharePoint.

• Now login on the SharePoint Server with Farm Admin account
• Open the Central Admin Site
• Click on Security and click Manage trust on the right-hand side
• On the Trust page click New
• On Establish Trust Relationship enter the following information:
