christian31 For HTTPS communication between clients and site system roles such as management points and distribution points, clients require a valid workstation authentication certificate. See Plan for security in Configuration Manager and PKI certificate requirements for Configuration Manager for more information.

  christian31 It may be possible, but I wouldn't recommend it... You'd have to create, export and import a unique certificate for each and every client, and you'd have to renew the certificates manually before they expire as well.
