Support for SSL protected RPC was removed in Bitcoin Core version 0.12.0 (released in february 2016).
See https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.12.0#rpc-low-level-api-changes for the release notes on this, and also a workaround.

1Generally the RPC interface is intended for locally running services that you trust. It isn't designed to be exposed over the internet. If you have a need for that, it's probably better to develop a wrapper with protections in yourself (for example, not exposing

1@salman farris The release notes I linked to explain how it can be done using stunnel or apache. Please, do not use 0.11. It is no longer maintained and has several critical issues. – Pieter Wuille – 2019-04-09T13:08:25.557
