Workflow Manager Configuration Wizard Error: 403 Forbidden

Question

I'd like to configure the workflow manager using the configuration wizard. The service bus has been configured successfully (if I start the service bus configurator, I just got the possibility to leave the existing farm). In the last step, I get the Error: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. Here is the log file:

Answer 1

Problem solved: I chose a different Service Account, promoted this one to be local administrator and database administrator on the SQL-Server, logged in and reinstalled the Workflow Manager (had to remove the software first, every single piece)
