SharePoint Workflow Manager on Server 2022 Service Broker issue

New installation of SharePoint Subscription Edition on new Server 2022 build. The SharePoint Workflow Manager (not Microsoft Workflow Manager) was installed along with the client and service framework. When I go to run the configuration for Workflow Manager it gets to the part where it is trying to start the service broker and it cannot do so.

 

All my research points to TLS issues and/or patches for Service Bus 1.1. Even though SharePoint Workflow Manager appears to use Service Bus 1.1 behind the scenes, it doesn't look like you can patch it the same way. While ultimately the server will be restricted to only use TLS 1.2, right now there is no restriction in place.

 

I also tried to explicitly enable 1.3 in the registry as well. The windows firewall and defender are disabled at this point and there is no third party AV.

    This has stalled our migration project completely. Has anyone installed SharePoint Workflow Manager successfully?

      Jason_Zeleznik  I am also trying to get it installed with 2022 server. The service bus started but I cant get the workflow service front end to start and the workflow web page doesnt show. I get an error about having no permissions.

    I don't remember having problem when installing SP Workflow Manager on a dedicated server. I had problem when connecting to SharePoint SE. It took me some time, it was also http related.
    You have to check IIS binding when using https. Disable HTTP/2. In my IIS binding I disabled legacy SSL, HHTP/2, OCSP and keep TLS 1.2.
    Hope this helps.
