Question

```fleetctl login ``` is throwing an error ```Login failed POST api v1 fleet login Post <https localhost 8080 api v1 fleet login> x509 certificate is not valid for any names but wanted to match localhost```

If you point fleetctl to localhost I believe you need to use ` tls skip verify` See <https github com fleetdm fleet blob main docs 1 Using Fleet 2 fleetctl CLI md>

But don t use this flag in production if you have Fleet running on a remote machine

Mystery Incorporated · Answer

Instead of using localhost use the URL of your fleet server because the certificate is for the URL Of course you will have to do the skip verify Avi mentions if you do not trust the CA certificate for your fleet server cert on that machine Error is you are accessing localhost but certificate is issued to <http yourdomain xyz|yourdomain xyz>
