Hello experts ,

New to Kafka and first-time login using cli (Ec2 linux instance)

Error: Post “[https://confluent.cloud/api/sessions](https://confluent.cloud/api/sessions)”: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Can anyone help me with correct steps if i am missing any configuration on certificates.
