 to easily set up a HTTPS endpoint on WinRM with a self-signed certificate, but
 the use of a verifiable certificate authority is recommended in production environments.
 
 The second option is to use NTLM, Kerberos, or CredSSP, and set the `message_encryption`

 To configure message encryption you can use the `message_encryption` argument
