Problem

We can do a CIS-CAT remote assessment of a Windows system using WinRM over http (port 5985) but it is failing when we try to use https (port 5986)

 

Solution

In order for CIS-CAT Pro Assessor to access the remote Windows host using WinRM over HTTPS, an HTTPS WinRM listener must be configured using the thumbprint of a certificate for that host.

Please see this section of the CIS-CAT documentation for information on how to setup WinRM over HTTPS
