How best to add SSL to development computer.

Hi All,

I am working on an app that requires some communication with a credit card processing firm. This must be done over a https protocol.

It works on the test web site (external with SSL activated), but how is it best for me to make the development machine have SSL capabilities, so I can test the app from that machine, and not have to deploy to the test web site for initial testing?

Thanks

Tony

if you mean to make your localhost work on ssl https you can do that using open ssl

Thanks Mike,

I tried that, but I had problems installing the Open SSL, Maybe I should try again.

OK, got it installed, but now I am not sure what to do. How do you tell SC that you want a secure page when you run an app on your development machine?

Afaik you can’t, I’m not aware of a setting where you can achieve that. But what might be a solution is to install a local web environment and deploy to there. That goes very fast as you can deploy by directory and test your stuff. Extra advantage is that you can debug using XDebug on your deployed application…
