## Why Am I Getting `x509: certificate signed by unknown authority` When Using The CLI?

Your not running your server with correct certs.
The certificate created by default by Argo CD is not automatically recognised by the Argo CD CLI, in order
to create a secure system you must follow the instructions to [install a certificate](/operator-manual/tls/)
and configure your client OS to trust that certificate.

If you're not running in a production system (e.g. you're testing Argo CD out), try the `--insecure` flag:

This default installation will have a self-signed certificate and cannot be accessed without a bit of extra work.
Do one of:
* Follow the [instructions to configure a certificate](./operator-manual/tls) (and ensure that the client OS trusts it).
* Configure the client OS to trust the self signed certificate.
* Use the --insecure flag on all Argo CD CLI operations in this guide.

Use `argocd login --core` to [configure](./user-guide/commands/argocd_login.md) CLI access and skip steps 3-5.
