Basic auth router not working on grid UI page - authentication fails

[Murali k]

Hi Team,

Unable to add authentication to the GRID UI page in selenium grid 4 . I have setup the [router] config details in toml file. While accessing the GRID UI URL(http://ipaddress:4444/ui) it is not asking for any username and password for authentication.

Could you please guide me steps or solution to add authentication to selenium grid  Ui page in selenium grid4.

Thanks & Regards,

Murali

Murali,

Can you please check if what you have as configuration matches the documentation here

Also please share the version that you are using ? Latest released version is 4.6.0 as of today.

You should see a log line such as "Requiring authentication to connect" at INFO level when you start the router which would confirm that it is honouring the username and password combination that you provided via configuration.

Thanks & Regards
Krishnan Mahadevan

Hi Krishnan,

I tried with the selenium version 4.6.0. I dont see any log at INFO level mentioning that require authentication.

Authentication popuo window is not showing when accessing the Grid Ui URL. Added the router config details in toml file. 

Is there any way to customize the grid ui URL with authentication by using any classess in selenium.

For instance like we have registerbasedservlets or proxy approach.

Please guide.

Thanks & Regards,

Murali

Please share the command and the toml configuration files that you are working with. That would help out a lot in figuring out what is going wrong.

Grid4 does not allow for adding user defined servlets. You can however customise a node (but that's not the same as you injecting servlets).

Thanks & Regards

Hi Krishnan,

Please find the command line used to run the authentication file .

java -jar C:\selenium\selenium-server-4.6.0.jar node --port 4333 --config C:\selenium\config.toml

In config.toml file just added the route authentication.

[router]
username="admin"
password="admin"

Grid UI page is not showing any popup for the authentication.

Thanks & Regards,

Murali

You are trying to setup auth for a node which is NOT going to work because the node is not user facing.

The documentation explicitly mentions that the basic auth is applicable only for the below roles

* hub

* standalone

* router

These are the 3 user facing roles of the grid.

I created a similar configuration file and then started the grid in standalone mode

Notice how the line appears 

18:21:56.044 INFO [Standalone.createHandlers] - Requiring authentication to connect

No. You cannot. You can work with only one pair of credentials with the basic auth approach. If this is an absolute need, you should perhaps log a bug on the github issues page and get feedback from the committers on this on the possibility of this being added to the grid.
