Hi there, We have lost the capability to work locally on forest. I have pulled my forest backend locally, ran `forest init` and started the server. My forest env points to [http://localhost:3310](http://localhost:3310) and I have set up the AUTH env variables. I am getting an authentication error in the front. All other remote environment work fine. See screenshot for the error. How can I make it work locally ? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/0/0a2373bf20da6978b995c55c2106b21776db356d.png) Thanks jy ---

Hi @Jean-Yves_Poilleux đź‘‹ To help you I will need : - your project name - the liana that you are using - the version of the liana I will also need your network console, your console logs if you have any, and same for your agent logs if you have any error messages. Kind regards, Shohan ---

Hi - folk - forest-express-sequelize - liana 8 Actually, it seems that the reason is that the forest front end is trying to perform a callback in https while m local server runs http. So it’s not finding anything. I’ve already had a conversation about developping locally in http (instead of https) here : [Lost possibility to develop locally since migrating to the new development workflow - #10 by Sliman\_Medini](https://community.forestadmin.com/t/lost-possibility-to-develop-locally-since-migrating-to-the-new-development-workflow/4690/10) It seems forest doesn’t allow me to locally work without https even though my environment is local and my endpoint is set as http. Can you confirm? jy ---

You should be able to develop locally using HTTP only. Can you check that: - The frontend is served over http (if not check you are not using an extension like “EFF HTTPS Everywhere”) - In your agent configuration, the APPLICATION\_URL environment variable points to a HTTP endpoint If that does not fix it, I would love a screenshot from the request which is failing in chrome inspector ---

Great! APPLICATION\_URL was indeed over https. That solved the issue. Thanks ! Jean-Yves
