      generaal-ericwhen you created the certificate did you install it in the correct place on your server for the type of certificate? i.e ours are in "Personal > certificates" and if issued to a full domain you need to make sure you access gateway using the full FQDN. also a certificate wont work if you are using a direct IP unless you have specified this in the SSL certificate on creation. 

       

      Also did you update WAC with the new thumbprint of your certificate or did you install initially using that certificate?

        davidcraig31 found the solution you dont want to run winRM over HTTPS only, you want to use http and https, fixed it for me, hope it fixes it for you 🙂
