If bug, first try running heroku update and setting DEBUG=* to see extra debug information.

What is the current behavior?

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

What is the expected behavior?

Please mention your heroku and OS version. Please state if you are behind an HTTP proxy or company firewall as well.

I have windows 10, 64 bit. Downloaded heroku CLI and started with heroku login but get the following error Error: unable to verify the first certificate. I can see this issue was reported earlier as well but no solution has been provided. I am behind the proxy and set HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables but still get the same issue.

Any help on this topic would be appreciated.

Regards
Abhishek

You likely have a self signed cert so you'll need to provide Node the CA cert you signed it with via https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_node_extra_ca_certs_file .

I fix this setting my company proxy (on Windows):
set http_proxy=http://proxy.company:9090
set https_proxy=http://proxy.company:9090
heroku login
