Hi @dantal4 ,

I know it's a little bit unfortunate but there is not an easy way to fix this problem as the SuiteCloud CLI is not capable of accepting option values that start with hyphen.

Please generate a new RSA key pair and upload the pubic certificate to your account to obtain a new certificateId. The odds to obtain a certificateId with a starting hyphen are extremely low.

If you still want to use the certificateId that starts with the hyphen the only workaround for now is to use SuiteCloud IDE Plugin for WebStorm, and perform the machine-to-machine authentication from there.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
