During the generation of the CSR, you will be prompted for several pieces of information. These are the X. One of the prompts will be for "Common Name e. It is important that this field be filled in with the fully qualified domain name of the server to be protected by SSL. I used wamphelper.
Do not enter anything to the question: A challenge password []: ] Just press Enter. If you do enter a passphrase here when you come to start Apache with SSL configured Apache will not start and will give this error message Basically if you do enter a passphrase Apache is supposed to challenge you for that passphrase each time it starts.
This is obviously not going to make your life any easier but primarily on windows it does not actually work and will cause Apache to crash when it attempts to ask for the passphrase, with the above error. At this point you will need to generate a self-signed certificate because you either don't plan on having your certificate signed by a CA, or you wish to test your new SSL implementation while the CA is signing your certificate.
This is unavoidable as we are signing the certificate ourselves, but of course the web of trust does not know who we are. See example later in this document showing how to tell your browser that you actually trust this certificate. This file is released by Apache and contains some default file location.
We can leave most of this file as it is, but we need to configure the virtual host in here to match our actual sites location and a few other things so:. Now make sure all these files we have changed are saved, and restart Apache using the wampmanager menus. If Apache does not restart you have probably spelt something wrong. Test the configs like so This will parse all the config files and should give you a file name and a line number where an error has been found. First access to your site will generate a message page something like this.
This is using FireFox, others will be slightly different, but the concept it the same. Click on, 'I Understand the risk' and that will show you a button saying 'Add Exception' Press the Add Exception button, after checking that the certificates site details are in fact yours, and you will not see this message again unless you clear the exception list. This tutorial does not cover that process. See here for more details:.
And like I said at the top, now you need to do some reseach on all the options available in the SSL config and make thing work as you want rather than using the default.
If not apache throws the next message:. You may want to try to searching libeay Copy libeay NOTE: I believe it is due to the mistake in apache openssl part for wamp 3. Fortunately in php7 folder those dlls are compatible for the apache and php5. Some of them block access to hosts file. When you use different ports be sure to use these everywhere you see 80 or in this tutorial. RiggsFolly : Self-signed certificate with key could be easily generated for example here Anyways some mentioned things were already enabled in default WAMP installation I guess it changes from version to version , but the rest helped me a lot.
And actually one thing was missing I also had to uncomment the following line in "httpd. Update: from Chrome 58 we will need to provide Subject Alternative Name. This name we can obtain from extension file v3. In order to post comments, please make sure JavaScript and Cookies are enabled, and reload the page.

Set the DocumentRoot to the location of the website files. Final step is to restart the WampServer for the changes to take effect. A green WAMP icon indicates that everything should be right.
If the icon is orange there is a problem with the syntax somewhere. Note : You will get a security warning which is because we are using the self-signed certificate.
