Workflow Manager Certificate Generation Key
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an encrypted communication protocol which uses encryption certificates. Workflow Manager and SharePoint Server can communicate in a secure manor using SSL. This article describes the steps required to setup and configure SSL certificates.
Configuration steps
The following sections provide instructions for configuring SSL communication with Workflow Manager and SharePoint Server.
May 27, 2013 Under Provide Certificate Generation Key, enter the key used to auto generate certificates for the Workflow Manager farm in the text box. This key must be the same as the farm key that you specified when you created the Workflow Manager farm. May 09, 2017 Reset Certificate Generation Key for WorkFlowManager and ServiceBus. We might face a scenario of removing a node from existing workflow manager(WFM) farm and add it back during troubleshooting with WFM farm or Service Bus(SB) farm.
Enable SSL
Enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) in IIS Manager. For guidance on completing the configuration, see the following:
Install Workflow Manager certificates in SharePoint
Under some circumstances, you must obtain and install Workflow Manager 'issuer' certificates on SharePoint Server. Here are the circumstances where you must install Workflow Manager certificates:
If SSL is enabled either on SharePoint Server (which is not the default) or on Workflow Manager (which is the default), AND
If SharePoint Server and Workflow Manager do not share a Certificate Authority, AND
If Workflow Manager is configured to generate self-signed certificates (which is the default).

Note
Product trial, workflow development, and troubleshooting are easier if SSL is not enabled. However, communication between SharePoint Server and Workflow Manager is not encrypted if SSL is not enabled. For this reason, SSL should be enabled for production configurations.
