Hi there

I have the following error when I am trying to reset a password using Laravel

Answer 1

Add cacert.pem file in your project, download file from

https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

copy that downloaded the certificate in your /vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src folder. change file Client.php find the function called getDefaultOptions()

replace $settings array with this,

$settings = [
        'allow_redirects' => true,
        'exceptions'      => true,
        'decode_content'  => true,
        //'verify'          => true
        'verify'          => dirname(__FILE__).'/cacert.pem',
];

what I did is for verifying added the downloaded file configuration, just changed the value for verify.

if you want to send curl request insecurely you can disable SSL certificate check, by setting verify => false

Warning: This makes the request absolute insecure
