We're installing SP 2013 for the first time. I stood up a few new SP farms with no problems. Then one of the developers comes and asks me to install Workflow manager 1.0. I understand the DB topology and account usage but I have two questions.
1. I have one development DB. I have two sp 2013 farms I built as virts. They will both use the same DB. Can workflow manager administer workflows on both farms or do I need two separate installations of workflow manager and it's associated db's?
2. I went ahead and installed WFmanager on the second farm, slightly changing all of the DB names so they didn't interfere with the first installation. Everything worked except the Service Bus configuration. It keeps getting hung on on "port number 9355 specified for this https port is blocked" but neither the db nor this server have their FW's even turned on. The workflow manager portion worked fine but at the end the installation told me to rerun the config wizard, and select "join a farm". I did that, but at the last screen I get this same error. I don't know where to go next, there is no FW problem.
So i'm left either fixing that, or possibly joining this server to the previous workflow farm if that's even possible. The problem I see with joining this to the other farm is that the service accounts for SharePoint itself are all different.
Any help is greatly appreciated..
