SharePoint 2013 Workflow runtime doesn't work?

Question

I have a problem when I try to start a Workflow 2013 in SharePoint Server 2013. I believe the error is related with permissions, but I cannot be sure.

Here is the error message in the log:

RequestorId: ef9edb7c-cc3d-5e10-3681-eada907596a4. 
Details: System.ApplicationException: HTTP 401 {"Transfer-Encoding":["chunked"],"X-SharePointHealthScore":["0"],"SPRequestGuid":["ef9edb7c-cc3d-5e10-3681-eada907596a4"],"request-id":["ef9edb7c-cc3d-5e10-3681-eada907596a4"],"X-FRAME-OPTIONS":["SAMEORIGIN"],"MicrosoftSharePointTeamServices":["15.0.0.4420"],"X-Content-Type-Options":["nosniff"],"X-MS-InvokeApp":["1; RequireReadOnly"],"Cache-Control":["max-age=0, private"],"Date":["Thu, 31 Jan 2013 16:36:44 GMT"],"Server":["Microsoft-IIS\/8.0"],"WWW-Authenticate":["NTLM"],"X-AspNet-Version":["4.0.30319"],"X-Powered-By":["ASP.NET"]}

The question is: What permissions do I need to configure in SharePoint for the WF publisher and the WF manager service account?

I’ve set a WF Manager service account named “wfservice” (this account is a local admin and has the sysadmin permissions in SQL Server), and I published the workflow and tested it using the account “wfuser”. Both accounts have full control permissions in the web app and are site owners, for testing WF 2013 purposes.

I’ve already done the DNS flush, as mentioned in Andrew Connell’s article, and I’m still getting an Unauthorized exception in the Item Workflow Status.

Anyone knows what’s going on? Which permissions do I need to configure?

The error text that pasted indicates that you're getting access denied on workflow calling back to SharePoint.

Workflow uses signed security tokens to authenticate. The SharePoint Web Application must be claims enabled and not use Forms Based Authentication (which is a requirement of SharePoint OAuth).

Because the response header only includes WWW-Authenticate: NTLM it would seem that SharePoint is not configured for server-to-server authentication (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219546.aspx)

just activate the workflow can use app permission site feature. It should be Work
