> Hey, you can initiate your client the following with weaviate.connect\_to\_local(additional\_config=wvc.init.AdditionalConfig(trust\_env=True)) as client: ….your code… and then set environment variables for httpx to pick up any cert files: [Environment Variables - HTTPX](https://www.python-httpx.org/environment_variables/#ssl_cert_file)

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks!
