Problem

Info

I am not able to execute CIS-CAT Pro Assessor® on a desired OS. While executing the script or GUI, the system gives the following error message: “The following platform mismatches were found"

All results in the GUI, logs, and HTML report are marked “Not Applicable" or “0%"

Solution

The best way to allow the assessment to advance is to skip the platform check performed by CIS-CAT.

To Ignore a Platform Mismatch using the command line, 1 time:
Add the option -D ignore.platform.mismatch=true to the command line for the specific assessment you are running.

To Ignore a Platform Mismatch for all subsequent CIS-CAT Pro assessments:

Note

NOTE: By making this change to the assessor-cli.properties file you will skip all Platform Applicability checks for all scans. This can lead to incorrect scoring if the OS and the Benchmark do not in fact match. You can always switch this back by changing the true back to false when scanning other systems.

  1. Go to the assessor-cli.properties file under[path your Assessor dir.]/config/assessor-cli.properties]

  2. Open the assessor-cli.properties file in a text editor

  3. On line 76 (or so) set "ignore platform mismatch" to equal "true"
    ignore.platform.mismatch=true

  4. Save the changes made to the assessor-cli.properties file and close

  5. Run the assessment again, it will pull the newly saved changes from assessor-cli.properties file and the Assessment should now run as anticipated.
