enable https(SSL) in localhost (https://localhost) -for WINDOWS 10

localhost

1.) download openssl
    > https://www.cloudinsidr.com/content/how-to-install-the-most-recent-version-of-openssl-on-windows-10-in-64-bit/
2.) run openssl comand line - C:\OpenSSL-Win64\bin
3.) Generate rootCA - certification authority
    > genrsa -des3 -out rootCA.key 2048
    > req -x509 -new -nodes -key rootCA.key -sha256 -days 1024 -out rootCA.pem
    > x509 -outform pem -in rootCA.pem -out rootCA.crt
    > please refer to full article https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-get-https-working-on-your-local-development-environment-in-5-minutes-7af615770eec/
4.) Click the generated "rootCA.crt" and select "install" > "local machine" > browse from stores > "Trusted Root Certification Authorities"
5.) create new file "server.csr.cnf"
    >   Paste the code below  
        [req]
        default_bits = 2048
        prompt = no
        default_md = sha256
        distinguished_name = dn

        [dn]
        C=US
        ST=RandomState
        L=RandomCity
        O=RandomOrganization
        OU=RandomOrganizationUnit
        [email protected]
        CN = localhost
6.) create file "domains.ext" and paste the code below
    >   authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
        basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
        keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
        subjectAltName = @alt_names

        [alt_names]
        DNS.1 = localhost
    
7.) run the code in openssl comand line
    > req -new -sha256 -nodes -out server.csr -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout server.key -config server.csr.cnf
    > x509 -req -in server.csr -CA rootCA.pem -CAkey rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 500 -sha256 -extfile domains.ext

8.) Apache vhost config
    > paste the code below in vhost config file
    <VirtualHost *:443>
        DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
        ServerName localhost
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile "C:/OpenSSL-Win64/bin/server.crt"
        SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/OpenSSL-Win64/bin/server.key"
        <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
            Options All
            AllowOverride All
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>
9.) restart apache
10.) visit https://localhost
