Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with the 2.0.0 macOS package using brew install --cask logdna-cli and logdna login, then compare it with node index.js login, which reportedly works from source. Investigate the binary release path and verify that the installed binary can complete login without the certificate error.

Description

As of a few days ago logdna-cli commands started failing with "certificate is expired".

Here's a reproducible example from a fresh install running on macOS Sonoma 14.4.1:

user@host ~ $ rm -f ~/.logdna.conf
user@host ~ $ ls -l ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/
total 0
user@host ~ $ brew install --cask logdna-cli

Running from source (node index.js login etc) works, the problem seems to be only with the binary release.
