I am trying to trigger workflow 2, attached to list 2, from an app step of workflow 1, attached to list 1, using Rest API "SP.WorkflowServices.WorkflowInstanceService.StartWorkflowOnListItemBySubscriptionId". Call completes successfully when I use it outside of App step i.e. worflow runs under current user who is a site owner too. But it fails when I use it inside the App Step. ULS log is attached as pdf. Sorry for large page size. I got X-DigestValue Header through REST Api and then immediately called the REST Api to trigger the workflow. Also used headers with "accept: application/json;odata=verbose" and "content-type: application/json;odata=verbose". Workflow history shows me an "internal server" error. I have given full control to workflow app using site app permissions on site and list. I am using SharePoint On-premises 2013. For web application, Claim based authentication with windows integrated NTLM authentication mechanism is being used. Analysis of ULS logs shows System.NotSupportedException: "Do not know how to create outbound claims for app only identity".

Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled.

    Hi @muhammad masood,

    I found this case which has the same error as yours:

    Error when starting workflow via REST webservice from another workflow

    The voted answer indicates removing the call from AppStep solved this issue.
