I’m having an issue setting up my local development. When I enter a unique name to reference my account, I get the following two errors: 1. RequestError Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain 2. A TypeError has occurred. Cannot destructure property ‘accountId’ of ‘(intermediate value)’ as it is undefined. ![hubspot-dev-error.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/3/4384a1164500315d5dd78f230e0334db508a3fcc.png) ---

@swalker1 Are you still having this issue? Are you adding a portal or is this the initial setup? ---

I’m still having this issue and I’m doing the initial setup described here: [https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/guides/getting-started](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/guides/getting-started) . However, I think it might be related to the restriction of my company’s VPN. ---

Thanks for your response Diamond. However, I ran into the same error. Step 2 didn’t work as I already had an existing config file, so I ran “hs auth” command. After entering in my CMS access keys I recieved the following error: [ERROR] A RequestError has occurred. Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain \*My hubspot.confg.yml file is still empty I’m not sure where to go from here. I’m beyond frustrated. ~ Shannon ---

@swalker1 , Sorry you are still struggling with this. You can manually create that yml file. [See here](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/developer-reference/local-development-cli#authentication) for what it should look like. ---

Dennise, Thanks for the suggestion. I have pasted the yml file sample to my project and have updated the DEV portal adding my portalId and API key. In the PROD portal I added the personal access key. I’m not sure what to do from there since I cannot generate an acessToken. When I run “hs auth” I still get the **[ERROR] A RequestError has occurred. Error: self signed certificate in certificate chain**. However, I was able to download the boilerplate theme to my VS Code editor project directory, but when I try to upload it I try to upload it I recieve several of the same self signed certified errors. I am leaning this being a security issue with my VPN. I’ve never had such a difficult time setting up a local development environment. ---

Try without the access token Example (obviously change name to reflect your workspace and not mine 😀) ```lia-code-sample defaultPortal: DennisMain portals: - name: DennisMain portalId: Your portal ID authType: apikey apiKey: super secret hapikey. paste in yours here ``` use only this in the yaml file and see if that helps. Other than that, I believe you may be correct about the vpn. Hopefully, you can work with IT on that. ---

Confirmed, I was having the same issue and then it got resolved after I turned off PiHole in my network.
