Safari webdriver cannot bypass HTTPS certificate

[Rana Banerjee]

Hi,

I am using selenium-server-standalone-2.28.0.jar to launch a HTTPS web application in Safari. I have configured safari browser as described in http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/SafariDriver and been able to launch a HTTP website.

But when I launch any HTTPS website, the browser opens up in default port and trying to connect to the HTTPS site and prompts -
"Safari can't verify the identity of the website. The certificate for this website is invalid. Continue/Cancel/Show Certificate."

However, the same website can be opened using other browser like IE or Firefox. I tried installing the certificate in Safari and retried, but the same prompt came up.

Here is my code -

    public WebDriver loadDriver() throws Exception
    {
        DesiredCapabilities safariCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
        safariCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);

        if(isSupportedPlatform())
            return new  SafariDriver(safariCapabilities);
        else
            throw new Exception("Unrecognized Platform for Safari");
    }

    private boolean isSupportedPlatform()
    {
        Platform current = Platform.getCurrent();
        return Platform.MAC.is(current) || Platform.WINDOWS.is(current);
    }

After loading driver, when I call driver.get(HTTPS_URL), the prompt is coming.

Is there any way to avoid this?

Thanks,
Rana

Are you having problem on both Safari on Mac and Windows or just one?

[Rana Banerjee]

I am using Safari on windows 7. Mac is currently out of scope for me.

Thanks,

Do you get same issue whether running test w/ Selenium for Safari vs manual testing in Safari browser? Just trying to narrow down issue.

I think Windows Safari takes certificate from Windows certificate store (same as IE method) so if you've installed the certificate for Windows/IE should be ok. On the safe side, try installing certificate within Safari (manually) if there's a way to do so, I forget.

I know for Mac, the certificate is to be installed via the Apple keychain certificate install process.

Hi David,

I am doing selenium webdriver testing on MAC/safari. The certificate is installed on the MAC via the Apple keychain certificate install process.

Followed the link http://rationaleemotions.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/working-with-safari-driver/ to do the certificate installation

Even though the certificate is installed, i am getting the error "Safari can't verify the identity of the website. The certificate for this website is invalid. Continue/Cancel/Show Certificate."

Can you please tell, what might be causing the issue? How to make sure if the certificate is installed properly or not.

Below are the mac OS details:

ProductName: Mac OS X

ProductVersion: 10.6.8

BuildVersion: 10K549

Selenium version being used is : selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0.jar

Commands used to start Hub & Node:

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0.jar -role hub -port 5678

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0.jar -role node -hub http://localhost:5678/grid/register -browser "browserName=safari,setjavascriptEnabled=true,acceptSslCerts=true,maxInstances=5,platform=MAC"

Hub and node are started on the MAC machine

Please help me out.

Thanks & Regards,

Sreedevi

Sridevi,

The blog you called out was mine :)

With respect to your certificate issue, I think its because you havent installed the certificate manually [ the error has got nothing to do with my post's contents. Infact that post itself is perhaps invalid now, because SafariDriver has streamlined itself a lot ]

Can you please try installing the certificate manually first and then trying to work with it [ You can refer here : https://support.quovadisglobal.com/KB/a59/how-do-i-install-a-digital-certificate-onto-apple-mac-os-x.aspx ]

Thanks & Regards

Is there any updates on this? I have the same issue with accepting Safari SSL certificate.
