The first is WSBindings.config, the second is the legacy endpoint config file, DynamicsGPLegacy.config, the second is the legacy endpoint config file, DynamicsGP.config and the fourth, being covered in this post, is the GP Workflow Service configuration file, GPWorfklowService.config, which is, by default, located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics\GPWebServices\ServiceConfigs.

There are two elements which need to be updated in the services node:

1. Change the bindingConfiguration node from WebHttpBindingTarget to WebHttpBindingTargetSSL.
2. Add a new https baseAddress line using the new port and the externally accessible DNS hostname:
   <add baseAddress="https://SERVER.msdynamicsgp.co.uk:48666/Dynamics/GPService/rest"/>

      <service name="Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.WebServices.WorkflowActionRenderingEngineContract.WorkflowActionRenderingEngine">
        <endpoint behaviorConfiguration="GPWorkflowService.RestBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WebHttpBindingTargetSSL" contract="Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.WebServices.WorkflowActionRenderingEngineContract.IWorkflowActionRenderingEngine"/>
        <endpoint name="aad" address="aad" behaviorConfiguration="GPWorkflowService.AzureRestBehavior" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.WebServices.WorkflowActionRenderingEngineContract.IWorkflowActionRenderingEngine" bindingConfiguration="WebHttpBindingNoSecurity"/>
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://SERVER:48620/Dynamics/GPService/rest"/>
            <add baseAddress="https://SERVER.msdynamicsgp.co.uk:48666/Dynamics/GPService/rest"/>
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
      </service>

Save the changes to the configuration file.
