How to enable SSL on a WAMP Server?

The Dashboard Builder requires OpenSSL to be available for encrypting and securing data . To enable SSL we need to enable SSL manually if it is not enabled or installed on the server.

 

Step-1 Download and Install OpenSS

OpenSSL is available in both 32 and 64 bit. Make sure you select the correct installer for your version of Windows. You can find the latest version of OpenSSL here https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. Navigate to your downloads folder and double-click the installer. When Installing OpenSSL leave all settings default.

Step-2 Enable SSL

The next step is to confirm that the following line is un-commented in the “php.ini” file located in “C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.1.10\php.ini”

extension=php_openssl.dll

Step 3: Restart the WAMP Server

The final step in enabling SSL in WAMP server is to restart the WAMP server for the changes to take effect. A green WAMP icon indicates that everything is good. If the icon is orange, it means that there is a problem with the syntax in the configuration.
