Handle Windows Authentication Dialog using Selenium Webdriver

[sanam]

Hi,

       I have handled the Windows Authentication Dialog in Selenium RC using AutoIT and it works fine for the browsers IE,FF and chrome.However I am trying to achieve this using Webdriver. 

How can this be done? is there a function like driver.switchTo().prompt and then we can enter the user id and password ??

[Mallikarjun Yalagi]

Hi sanam,

 

         did you handled Autocomplete Passwords in IE,i mean dialog box like when you click on login button,whether to save password or not ??

 

Thanks&Regards

Mallikarjun Yalagi

@Sanam,

Handling of such  'HTTP Basic Authentication' dialogs are not yet supported by webdriver. Hence, driver.switchTo() and the below mentioned link won't be helpful.

You still need AutoIt to bypass the dialog.
(OR)
You might consider trying out the tricks like, passing the username and password in the URL itself, editing the windows registry(for IE).

@Jayakumar,

 

Thanks for helping me to get a clear understanding.

 

@Sanam, 

 

I tried a same scenario and I couldn't handle that window authentication dialog using driver.switchTo() API [As Jayakumar mentioned]

 

Sorry for my mistake.

[sanam]

Thanks for your response everyone. So i am guessing even the DownLoad window will not be supported and will have to continue using AutoIt for it. This is kinda a put off.

@ Mallikarjun  : No i have not handled that. Maybe you can try driver.switchTo().alert but before doin this you may have to do a driver.switchTo.window(hanlde) to select the page on which this pop up is displayed.

Thanks,

Sanam

Hi Jaykumar,

you can use like this to bypass Authentication


         FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
         profile.setPreference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);

         profile.setPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusteduris","google.com");
         FirefoxDriver webDriver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
   
         webDriver.get("http://USNME:PASWD@FullURL/");



After this u will bypass authentication.and goes to normal page !!!!

Something like this isn't going to work using Selenium because it's not actually part of the DOM. You can interact with Alerts, but not auth prompts.

Hope that helps,

-Doug

[Alan Holt]

I just got done with a prototype project that should be able to do what you describe.  It utilizes the BrowserMob proxy to post the authentication to the web browser, instead of having to edit the registry or use an extension.  It is still in its alpha stage, but maybe it will help you.  https://sourceforge.net/projects/seleniumbasicauthwrapper/?source=navbar

It is using C# WebDriver, but if you are using Java, BrowserMob actually has a very verbose integration with WebDriver, so maybe that would be a good direction to go.  Hope this helps!

Hi Sanam,

 

I am working on Selenium RC. So could you please share the code for Windows Authentication Dialog in Selenium RC using AutoIT and it works fine for the browsers IE.

 

Regards,

Venkat

[DongXiang]

Hi ,

Web driver can't handle platform dialog like authentication dialog, modal dialog. AutoIt rely on the operation platform and can't be executed on different operation system. JRobot may be a solution, but it rely on the focus. it may different for different browsers. From my test, it works for most browsers.

Best Regards,

Hi, I used Java threads, awt robots along with Selenium webdriver to address to automate windows authentication process of our website. This is basic but worked for me!
If you have suggestions or feedback please let me know.

//...
//Note: this logic works in Chrome and Firefox. It did not work in IE and I did not try Safari.
//...

//import relevant packages here

public class TestDemo {

    static WebDriver driver;

    public static void main(Strings{} args) {

        //setup web driver
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "path to your chromedriver.exe");
        driver = new ChromeDriver();

        //create new thread for interaction with windows authentication window
        (new Thread(new LoginWindow())).start();                

        //open your url. this will prompt you for windows authentication
        driver.get("your url");
   
        //add test scripts below ...
        driver.findElement(By.linkText("Home")).click();    
        //.....
        //.....
        //.....
        //.....

    }

    //inner class for Login thread    
    public class LoginWindow implements Runnable {
       
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                login();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                System.out.println("Error in Login Thread: " + ex.getMessage());
            }
        }
               
        public void login() throws Exception {
           
            //wait - increase this wait period if required
            Thread.sleep(5000);
           
            //create robot for keyboard operations
            Robot rb = new Robot();

            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
            rb.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
            rb.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
