SharePoint 2013 Workflow trouble shooting


Error: "Something went wrong.  To try again, reload the page and then start the workflow again"

Environment: Windows Server 2012, SharePoint 2013 RTM + PU 201303, Workflow manager 1.0 + CU1

I configured workflow manager 1.0 for one SharePoint 2013 farm. It worked well.  However, when I tried to do similar configuration for another SP2013 farm (belongs to another domain), I got the error message above. Blow is the details in SharePoint log.

Exception returned from back end service. System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException: The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

Search engine told me that it might caused by incorrect web application authentication mode. The PowerShell command "convert-spwebapplication -identity http://mywebapp -To Claims -RetainPermission" doesn't work well, so I rebuilt the web application with "Claims" authentication.

Now, I can create SharePoint 2013 workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013. But, when trying to trigger that workflow, the workflow status was kept as "Started" for a few minutes, then been turned into "Suspended".

Below is the error message from SharePoint log file.

On workflow server, I got these error information from windows events log.

Don't know what caused it. After quite a lot of struggling, I simply gave it up.

Last week, SharePoint 2013 CU 201304 was released. After installing it, BANG! The problem disappeared!
