Troubleshooting Self-Signed SSL Certificates in MAMP for Windows 10

When using MAMP for Windows 10, you may encounter an issue where self-signed SSL certificates are not recognized by your browser. This can be frustrating, especially when trying to test a website locally. In this article, we will explore the steps to troubleshoot and fix this problem.

The solution lies in adding the self-signed certificate to the Trusted Certificates list on your Mac. Here's how:

1. Go back to Chrome, reload the page, and you'll be prompted to authenticate with your Mac login to save the updates.

2. In the next modal window, choose Always Trust from the dropdown. This will add the certificate to your trusted certificates.

3. In the Certificates Window, double-click on the certificate.

4. In the Add Certificate window, click Add.

5. Select the crt file (make sure it's the same file name that appears in the SSL window if you have multiple).

6. Click on the circle with the arrow to open the directory where the certificate was saved.

7. You'll be prompted to save the certificate.

8. Fill in the fields in the dialog modal and click Generate.

9. Click the self-signed certificate button.

Once you've completed these steps, you'll need to go to the SSL tab of the host you're trying to fix (assuming you've created a host in MAMP) and restart your browser. This should resolve the issue with the self-signed certificate not being recognized.
