title: gcloud auth login - certificate verify failed
body: <p>I am in the process of trying out google sdk app engine.
  I could get the local app running on my laptop but having problems with the gcloud auth login.</p>
  
  <p>When I type the gcloud auth login command, a new browser window opens and after verifying my credentails, it says - You are now authenticated with the Google Cloud SDK!</p>
  
  <p>But, in the command line, where I typed the command, I get the following error - </p>
  
  <pre><code>D:\appengine-try-java&gt;gcloud auth login

  <p>Because of this, I am unable to deploy my application on the google cloud.</p>
  
  <p>After some search, I figured out it has got to do with the cacerts.txt file in D:\google-cloud-sdk\lib\httplib2. I replaced the cacerts.txt file from my colleague and it worked fine once but now I am getting the issue again.</p>
  
  <p>Anypointers in resolving this will be really helpful</p>
