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
Purna
