How do I authenticate terminus with machine token for Pantheon.io? I am getting a cURL error 60: SSL certificate

Question

I am trying to set up terminus for pantheon.io and I am getting this error

cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem

when I try to authenticate with a machine token. I am using windows 10, wampserver, php 7 . I used composer and git bash to install terminus. I did download a cacert.pem file, put it in the "C:\\wamp64\\bin\\php\\php7.0.10\\extras\\ssl" folder, and I adjusted the php.ini file according to the documentation on github. I still get this error. What do I need to do to get it to work?

[error] cURL error 60: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html )

I am using WampServer on windows 10 and WampServer has two php versions you can select from. Mine has 7.0.10 and 5.6.25. When I first tried to authenticate terminus with the machine token I had only modified the php.ini file for version 7.0.10. Well that didn't work so I modified the php.ini file for 5.6.25 and now it works. I don't know why but that fixed it for me.
