How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java

Question

I\'m trying to handle authentication popup using the code below:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference(\"network.http.phishy-u         


        

Answer 1

If you have to deal with NTLM proxy authentication a good alternative is to use a configure a local proxy using CNTLM.

The credentials and domain are configured in /etc/cntlm.conf.

Afterwards you can just use you own proxy that handles all the NTLM stuff.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.setHttpProxy("localhost:3128");
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);

driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

Answer 2

The Alert Method, authenticateUsing() lets you skip the Http Basic Authentication box.

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);      
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());     
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(username, password));

As of Selenium 3.4 it is still in beta

Right now implementation is only done for InternetExplorerDriver

Answer 3

Don't use firefox profile and try below code:

driver.get("http://UserName:Password@Example.com");

If you're implementing it in IE browser, there are certain things which you need to do.

In case your authentication server requires username with domain like "domainuser" you need to add double slash / to the url:

//localdomain\user:password@example.com

Answer 4

Try following solution and let me know in case of any issues:

driver.get('https://example.com/')
driver.switchTo().alert().sendKeys("username" + Keys.TAB + "password");
driver.switchTo().alert().accept();

This is working fine for me

Answer 5

This should work for Firefox by using AutoAuth plugin:

FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new ProfilesIni().getProfile("default");
File ffPluginAutoAuth = new File("D:\\autoauth-2.1-fx+fn.xpi");
firefoxProfile.addExtension(ffPluginAutoAuth);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefoxProfile);

Answer 6

I faced this issue a number of times in my application.

We can generally handle this with the below 2 approaches.

1. Pass the username and password in url itself

2. You can create an AutoIT Script and call script before opening the url.

Please check the below article in which I have mentioned both ways:
