NTLM authentication in firefox not working for sharepoint

[Alex]

I want to write some ui test for one of our apps for Sharepoint but to this we need to log into Sharepoint and Selenium does not have support for this. We got the auto login to work for chrome and ie but FF refuses to work. i read all about setting the ntlm auth and trusted uri in about:config and i did but it won't work. i tried adding the domain as trusted(.domainname) i added the exact url for the page with the app, i tried adding the machine name where sharepoint is hosted, i tried everything i could find and everyone says it should work with these things but for me it does not(it writes the username and password in the fields but it wont submit it). Is there some external setting for security that might be preventing this from working since everywhere i looked everyone says that these settings solved their problems. i know i could use like an autoit script to simply send an enter key to log in but i would rather avoid using external tools and stick to pure selenium testing.

Alex,

Perhaps you can try this.

FirefoxDriver fd = new FirefoxDriver();

org.openqa.selenium.security.UserAndPassword creds = new org.openqa.selenium.security.UserAndPassword(uname, pwd);

fd.switchTo().alert().authenticateUsing(creds);

Thanks & Regards

What exactly is this?

org.openqa.selenium.security.UserAndPassword

i can't find this variable type anywhere. i haven't updated selenium for about 3 versions. is it something recent? ps i am using c# for the selenium tests.

Alex,

I referred to the released javadocs [Selenium 2.33.0] and that is Java code. I dont know whats the corresponding class names in C#

Thanks & Regards

Hi Alex,

I did the same in my last project. follow below code and attach file.

rename LoginFF.txt to LoginFF.exe.

@BeforeMethod
    public void startDriver() throws Exception
    {
        baseUrl = "http://172.16.50.45/";
        //--------------------Window Authentication Start--------------------------
        try
        {
            profile = new FirefoxProfile();
            profile.setPreference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);
            profile.setPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusteduris","mindgate");
            profile.setPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-non-fqdn", "true");
            profile.setPreference("network.ntlm.send-lm-response", "true");
            //Profile.setPreference("browser.download.dir", "D:\\java prj");
            //Profile.setPreference("browser.download.folderList", 2);
            //Profile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","application/zip");
            //profile.setPreference("capability.policy.strict.Window.alert", "noAccess") ;
            //profile.setPreference("capability.policy.strict.Window.confirm", "noAccess") ;
            //profile.setPreference("capability.policy.strict.Window.prompt", "noAccess") ;

            dialog =  new String[]{ "C:\\loginFF.exe","Authentication Required","mindgate\\mgs1058", "mindgate@1234", "ok" }; // Path to exe file, window Name, userName, Password, OK/Cancel button.
            driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
            driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            driver.manage().window().maximize();
            pp1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(dialog); //this piece will run exe to enter username and password in AuthDialog and click on OK
            driver.get(baseUrl+"/GTOW/Home/LoginHome.aspx");
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            System.out.println("Driver started");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println("Driver not started");
        }
        //--------------------Window Authentication END---------------------------
    }


    @Test
    public void testNewVesselCodeMaster() throws Exception
    {
        try
        {

            //Select Module name on home page
            driver.findElement(By.id("MainContent_dlstModuleImage_ImageButton1_2")).click();

Hi Krishnan,

I have tried in the way u said,  while running script is not passing the username and password to allert window.

here is the script.

String URL="http://team/myvirtusa/default.aspx";
        FF.get(URL);
        UserAndPassword user=new UserAndPassword("venkat","password");
        FF.switchTo().alert().authenticateUsing(user);

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

Hmm.. on second thoughts it may actually not work. I checked the Selenium code base and this method is annotated with @Beta and the implementation in RemoteAlert has this

    public void authenticateUsing(Credentials credentials) {

      throw new UnsupportedCommandException("Not implemented yet");

    }

Take a look at this post : http://watirmelon.com/2012/06/27/automatic-firefox-authentication-when-using-selenium-webdriver-with-autoauth/

Thanks & Regards

Alex,

We are using the ATU Utilities API for handling the Authentication as well as Uploading and downloading scenarios.


The Code looks similar to the below

For NTLM Authentication:

WindowElement authenticationElement = handler.findElementByName(

firefoxWindowElement, "Authentication Required");

WindowElement userNameElement = handler.findElementByNameAndLocalizedControlType(authenticationElement, "User Name:", "edit");

handler.typeKeys(userNameElement, "admin");

WindowElement passwordElement = handler.findElementByNameAndLocalizedControlType(authenticationElement, "Password:", "edit");

handler.typeKeys(passwordElement, "admin");

WindowElement okButton = handler.findElementByName(authenticationElement, "OK");

handler.click(okButton);

For Uploading:

WindowElement uploadElement = handler.findElementByName(firefoxElement,"File Upload");

WindowElement fileNamePath = handler.findElementByNameAndClassName(uploadElement,  "File name:", "Edit");

handler.typeKeys(fileNamePath, "sample.txt");

WindowElement openButton = handler.findElementByName(uploadElement,"Open");

handler.click(openButton);

Visit http://automationtestingutilities.blogspot.in/ for downloading the library.
