Unable to create a working configuration.xml to run Database assessments in CIS-CAT Pro Assessor

Solution

Test using a ‘local’ session configuration using the example below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <configuration xmlns="http://cisecurity.org/ccpa/config">
    <sessions test="false">
        <session id="sql">
            <type>local</type>
        </session>
    </sessions>
    <assessments quiet="false">

<!-- An XCCDF collection with a profile selection and custom user properties: -->

        <benchmark xccdf="benchmarks\CIS_Microsoft_SQL_Server_2019_Benchmark_v1.2.0-xccdf.xml" session-ref="sql">
            <interactive_values>
                <value id="xccdf_org.cisecurity_value_jdbc.url">jdbc:sqlserver://CIS-SERVER:1433;databaseName=TestDB;domain=WIN-DOMAIN;user=jsmith;password=qw3rty;instanceName=TestInstance;</value>
            </interactive_values>
        </benchmark>

    </assessments>
    <reports html="true" csv="true" txt="true" json="true">
    </reports>
</configuration>
