Hi GitHub Copilot Expects,

 Recently I encountered this error "Sign in failed: org.eclipse.lsp4j.jsonrpc.ResponseErrorException: Could not log in with device flow on https://github.com: unable to get local issuer certificate" when login Copilot in Eclipse. 

 I am subscribing a free plan, and it was working last month. Somehow, it does not work starting this month. 

 I have tried the solution provided in this ticket https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/111175, unfortunately it did not work for me. 

 An extra info is my company uses zscaler service. 

Could you please guide me how to solve this issue? Thanks

Regards
Wong

Zscaler’s screwing with GitHub’s SSL cert, so Eclipse freaks out. Export Zscaler’s root cert and add it to your Java truststore using keytool, then restart Eclipse and try logging in again that should sort it. Let me know if this help

I have a similar configuration, with ZScaler as a VPN.

Don't use keytool. Github Copilot for Eclipse is written as a nodejs application.

If you're on Windows, set a user environment variable ("Edit environment variables for your account") or system environment variable (if you have admin privilege in Windows) for NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS and point it at the path of the .pem or .crt file with the public keys of the SSL certificates bundle you need to trust.

Once the app takes the environment variable on startup, you'll be good to go.
