How to automate username/password fill for firefox authentication popup using selenium IDE

Question

I got a selenium script that works, but when it is opened with selenium-rc it is in a new instanced which requires me to re-login. Is there a way to automate filling in the username/password for the "authentication required" window that pops up?

I have tried the following but it doesn't work:

http://username:password@site.com/ instead of http://site.com/

Any ideas other than calling another script like autohotkey?

Answer 1

I ended up using AutoIT with a login script containing the following and it worked:

WinWaitActive("Authentication Required")

Send("Username")

Send("{TAB}")

Send("Password")

Send("{ENTER}")

Answer 2

You could give the Firefox plugin Integrated Authentication for Firefox a try. After installing you can configure the plugin in the options menu of Firefox. Just add your site.com to the integrated authentication enabled sites and see whether it works for you. In my case it solved the problem.
