Cannot sign in to SharePoint Online using SharePoint Designer 2013 - 403 forbidden403 forbidden403 forbidden403 forbidden403 forbidden

Hi Guys,

Recently i have installed Sharepoint Desinger 2013 and tried to connect to SharePoint Online Site. But it dint allow me to login  and thrown this below error :

"403 forbidden403 forbidden403 forbidden403 forbidden403 forbidden "

I am the tenant admin and have all the rights to open site in designer. So there is no issue with the permissions. The only resolution i found is, updating the designer with ServicePack1.

Here are the links for the service Packs.

SP1 for 32Bit: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42015

SP1 for 64Bit: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42009

Close your designer, install the service pack and re-open it. It works like a charm.!

Hope this helps some one.

SP2013 Designer Workflow Error : There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/appsts.svc that could accept the message

Hello Guys,

Recently I got a requirement to work on SharePoint 2013 Designer Workflow. In my server all the required configurations like WF Manager, Service Registration etc  is already setup in the server, But when i started publishing the workflow i have got this below error message

"Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : ba605d9d-e11c-606d-5c6c-4dac94c6c3a1. ---> System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. ---> System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/SecurityTokenServiceApplication/appsts.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action."

I googled it for some time and checked the service application status, logs, "Refresh Trusted Security Token Services Metadata feed timer job" etc etc. But no luck. After spending some (of course hours :) ) i came to know that the below windows service should be running to publish the workflow (some how this is stopped in my machine)

Once start the service, i could successfully publish the designer workflow.

Thanks
