There isn't one.

This was a new feature in PHP 5.6:

All encrypted client streams now enable peer verification by default. By default, this will use OpenSSL's default CA bundle to verify the peer certificate. In most cases, no changes will need to be made to communicate with servers with valid SSL certificates, as distributors generally configure OpenSSL to use known good CA bundles.

The default CA bundle may be overridden on a global basis by setting either the openssl.cafile or openssl.capath configuration setting, or on a per request basis by using the cafile or capath context options.

However, Composer has its own cafile setting that you should be able to use instead:

cafile

Location of Certificate Authority file on local filesystem. In PHP 5.6+ you should rather set this via openssl.cafile in php.ini, although PHP 5.6+ should be able to detect your system CA file automatically.

I recommend setting this via Composer's command-line config interface, e.g something like

composer global config cafile <your-setting>
