Hi @hlmd,

Welcome to the community :wave:

This looks similar to the query on GitHub, please refer to this comment on the thread here and let us know if that helps.

Please ensure OpenSSL is installed on the windows machine. The steps can be found here
Capture HTTP requests in Postman | Postman Learning Center
After installing OpenSSL, please restart the app.

I know this is old but I just ran into the same problem on Kali Linux. Turns out from some of other forum posts with Windows this is common.
The problem is either:

  1. OpenSSL is not installed

  2. OpenSSL version 3+ is installed

Postman requires OpenSSL 1.1.1 . My best guess is OpenSSL 3.0.5 has breaking interface changes and making a hard dep on OpenSSL 1.1.1

Hope that helped and didn’t necro something

my source that helped me give a shot with openssl 1.1.1

It will be weird to have downgrade openssl for the latest version of Postman to work.

to be fair, it’s only to get postman to generate the certs. Once they’re generated, I switched back the version of openssl and it worked fine with the cert

also, appears that Postman’s docs actually address that v1.x is required and that any ver higher is not yet supported.

Docs: installing openssl on windows

Seems a bit silly :confused:
