[FIXED] How to enable ssl protection in laravel

Issue

After running composer update I got this problem:

You are running Composer with SSL/TLS protection disabled. [Composer\Downloader\TransportException]
curl error 60 while downloading https://repo.packagist.org/packages.json: SSL ce

Solution

Well there could be multiple issues with your environment, which does not allow SSL connections, since the tool cannot accept the certificates.

Another approach could be to turn off the SSL verification, as long as you working on a development machine.

composer config --global disable-tls true
composer config --global secure-http false

You find other possibilies to set the settings in your project here.
