How to handle Widows Security Pop-Up Window

[Mayank Srivastava]

Hi,

I have website which is used for internal purpose and to access that user has to enter internal credentials.

Whenever user start that website, system opens up a Windows Security pop-up window with Username, Password, and Login button.

I'm using WebDriver.
How to handle this pop-up window?

Regards,
Mayank

Hi Majank,

as it sounds to me the window comes from operating system - then you can't reach it with WebDriver at all. WebDriver only support you in browser automation. Try to figure out why Windows sends this popup and suppress it.

Mayank - you need to enter the user id and password as part of the URL, like

http://userid:pass...@www.anywhere.com/

This won't work on all browsers.

IE disabled the ability to do that a while back and I don't think Safari supports it.

Guys,

As I did not get any appropriate way to solve that, so taken shortcut to solve the problem. :-)

Below is the code to enter username and password in Windows Authentication Dialog-

        InternetExplorerDriver brow = new InternetExplorerDriver();
        brow.get("http://qa.xxxx.xx.xxxx.com/sites/abc/Home.aspx");
       
       
        //Code to handle Basic Browser Authentication in Selenium.
        Alert aa = brow.switchTo().alert();
        aa.sendKeys("username");  
       
        Robot a = new Robot();
        a.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
        a.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
       
        Thread.sleep(5000);
       
        Alert bb = brow.switchTo().alert();
        bb.sendKeys("password");
   
        a.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
        a.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);


First it's enter the username in first edit field then hitting the enter key which makes the system to point the second edit field. Now it will data in second edit field and hit the enter which makes the system to login through that authentication.

Hi Mayank,

  I hope by this time you would have got the solution foe this issue, the best way is to use autoit exe file.
