Selenium - Basic Authentication via url
(6 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
After opening application URL, User is redirected to Sign-In page where there is a Sign-In button.
driver.get("abc.com")
Now when user click on Sign-In button, URL is changed in the same window say it becomes xyz.com and shows authentication popup window for login purpose similar to image shown below.
To enter username and password in authentication window I tried the below code
shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
shell.Sendkeys("username")
time.sleep(1)
shell.Sendkeys("{TAB}")
time.sleep(1)
shell.Sendkeys("password")
time.sleep(1)
shell.Sendkeys("{ENTER}")
time.sleep(1)
It didn't work. Then I tried to open windows authentication popup directly(by copying URL after click of Sign-In button) with the above code, it worked
driver.get("xyz.com")//instead of abc.com my application URL
I am bit confused. If I open my app URL abc.com, click on Sign-In button, use autoit, it didn't enter credentials. But if I directly send window authentication URL xyz.com instead of app URL abc.com and use autoit, it work.
Can anyone suggest what I am missing here? I also tried to switch window after click on Sign-In button thinking its new URL and then autoit command, but it still it didn't work.
driver.switch_to_window(driver.window_handles[1])
Any idea on this?
Note: I noticed that click on Sign-In button, windows is loading infinitely & cursor is active on username text-field of windows authentication poup. Also once windows authentication window appears, none of selenium command is working and neither autoit command.
The dialog is treated as an alert by selenium. In c#, the code to enter in credentials for a Firefox test looks like:
// Inputs id with permissions into the Windows Authentication box
var alert = driver.SwitchTo().Alert();
alert.SendKeys( #"username" + Keys.Tab +
#"password" + Keys.Tab);
alert.Accept();
The first line is telling the driver to check for open alerts (the dialog box).
The second line sends the username and password to the alert
The third line then sends those credentials and, assuming they are valid, the test will continue.
Assuming you are testing using Firefox, there is no requirement to use extra frameworks to deal with this authentication box.
It looks like you just have to open the URL with basic auth credentials.
Can you try this first?
driver.get('http://username:password#abc.com')
If you're still getting the popup, try this
driver.get('http://username:password#xyz.com') #assuming this is the site that handles authentication
driver.get('abc.com')
It should stop the popup
you can automate the keyboard:
import keyboard
keyboard.write("username")
keyboard.press_and_release("tab")
keyboard.write("password")
keyboard.press_and_release("enter")
Here is an example of loading a login page with selenium, then entering login credentials with keyboard:
from selenium.webdriver import Firefox
import keyboard
driver = Firefox()
driver.get('https://somelink')
keyboard.press_and_release('tab')
keyboard.press_and_release('shift + tab')
keyboard.write('user', delay=1)
keyboard.press_and_release('tab')
keyboard.write('pass', delay=1)
keyboard.press_and_release('enter')
Note: keyboard may require root permission on Linux.
You need to switch to the alert, which is different than a window. Once the alert is present, you switch the alert handle, then use the .authenticate method to give it the username and password
alert = driver.switch_to.alert
alert.authenticate(username, password)
You may want to wait on the EC.alert_is_present expected condition to be sure the alert is present.
Try this (with page_title being the title of the popup window and assuming you are on a windows machine) :
from win32com.client import Dispatch
autoit = Dispatch("AutoItX3.Control")
def _window_movement_windows(page_title):
autoit.WinSetOnTop(page_title, "", 1)
autoit.WinActivate(page_title, "")
autoit.WinWaitActive(page_title)
An example how to setup AutoIt with python can be found here : Calling AutoIt Functions in Python
With Firefox, it's possible to avoid the authentication popup by automatically providing the credentials when they are requested.
It requires to inject and run some code at a browser level to detect the authentication attempt and set the credentials.
Here's a working example:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver import WebDriver
def add_credentials_moz(driver, target, username, password):
driver.execute("SET_CONTEXT", {"context": "chrome"})
driver.execute_script("""
let [target, username, password] = [...arguments];
let WebRequest = Cu.import('resource://gre/modules/WebRequest.jsm', {});
WebRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(function listener(){
WebRequest.onAuthRequired.removeListener(listener);
return Promise.resolve({authCredentials: {username: username, password: password}});
}, {urls: new MatchPatternSet([target])}, ['blocking']);
""", target, username, password)
driver.execute("SET_CONTEXT", {"context": "content"})
WebDriver.add_credentials_moz = add_credentials_moz
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.add_credentials_moz("https://httpbin.org/*", username="user", password="passwd")
driver.get("https://httpbin.org/")
driver.find_element_by_css_selector("[href='/basic-auth/user/passwd']")\
.click()

Selenium - Basic Authentication via url

Click the link to see: pop up screenshot
I am trying to automate this:http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth in chrome using Selenium java.
I want to insert username, passwors and then either click sign in or cancel.
But I am not able to "inspect element".
It is window authentication pop-up, not javascript alert. So, in this case you need to modify Webdriver URL. (AutoIT also can be applicable. But below is the simple way to handle it.)
say, username=admin, password=admin. Just pass the below URL:
driver.get("http://admin:admin#the-internet.herokuapp.com/);
You need to switch the driver over to the alert:
driver.switchTo().alert().sendKeys("Some text");
You might be able to send the tab key to switch from username box to password box.
First of all, I need to state that I am total beginner with Selenium.
I am trying to test an application in firefox browser using Selenium. Due to security issues the application works only over vpn.
My problem occurs with the following steps; I create the webdriver and navigate to the start (login) page of application. I get an "Authorization request" popup. If I cancel the popup, then I get to a page that states "Connection is not secure" (it's https address). After I get passed that, I lose the part where Selenium program should populate username and password and it just stays on the login page.
My question, is there a way to start Selenium testing on an application so that it is already opened and prepared (ie logged in) in browser? I am not happy that username and password are hard-coded in Selenium code.
If that is not possible, how do I skip that authorization popup and problem with non-secure connection? How do I populate username and password in safest way?
Thanks!
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Selenium-java-3.0.1\\geckodriver.exe");
// I tried also with this code bellow in comment, but it did not work, it did not even get to login page
//WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
//Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
//alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword("cfadmin", "20lipim18"));
driver.get("https://Application_login_page.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath(".//*[#id='login']")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("[#id='login']")).sendKeys("Username");
}
if it's possible, is there a way to start Selenium testing on application that is already opened and prepared (logged) in browser?
Try using firefox profile. Since selenium open fresh instance of browser by default. You can use your own firefox frofile.
This is a code to implement a profile, which can be embedded in the selenium code.
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
// this will create an object for the Firefox profile
FirefoxProfile myprofile = profile.getProfile("default");
// this will Initialize the Firefox driver
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile)
It will also maintain the session means you are already login to the application in firefox(default profile). Then if you execute the script, you will see that you are already logged in to the application.
There is no way to open already authorised page, you have to have to pass username and password through selenium script.
You may use below code to do the authentication
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(username, password));
I am trying to handle an authentication pop-up in one of my new Webdriver scripts. I have a working solution for IE, but I am struggling with Chrome. IE was as simple as following the advice on [this page]:How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java. That thread doesn't show a great solution for Chrome, although several commentors point out, that the solution does not work for Chrome. The problem is, when you try to do the below code on Chrome, the login popup isn't an Alert.
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(**username**, **password**));
It's not a windows level () authentication pop-up, the web page is simply password protected. I know there are several other instances of this question on Stack Overflow, but I don't see any more recently than 2 years old. I am hoping there is a better solution now in 2017. Thanks in advance.
May be helpful for others to solve this problem in chrome with the help of chrome extension. Thanks to #SubjectiveReality who gave me this idea.
Sending username and password as part of url like https://username:password#www.mytestsite.com may be helpful if same server performs both authentication and hosts the application. However most corporate applications have firmwide authentications and app server may reroute the request to authentication servers. In such cases, passing credentials in URL wont work.
Here is the solution:
#Step1: Create chrome extension#
Create a folder named 'extension'
Create a file named 'manifest.json' inside 'extension' folder. Copy below code into the file and save it.
{
"name":"Webrequest API",
"version":"1.0",
"description":"Extension to handle Authentication window",
"permissions":["<all_urls>","webRequest","webRequestBlocking"],
"background": {
"scripts" : ["webrequest.js"]
},
"manifest_version": 2
}
Create a file named 'webrequest.js' inside 'extension' folder and copy paste below code into the file and save it.
chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(
function handler(details){
return {'authCredentials': {username: "yourusername", password: "yourpassword"}};
},
{urls:["<all_urls>"]},
['blocking']);
Open chrome browser, go to chrome://extensions and turn on developer mode
Click 'Pack Extension', select root directory as 'extension' and pack extension. It should create a file with extension '.crx'
#Step2: Add extension into your test automation framework #
Copy the .crx file into your framework
Configure your webdriver creation to load the extension like
options.addExtensions(new File("path/to/extension.crx"));
options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
Invoke your webdriver and application URL
You wont see the authentication popup appearing as its handled by above extension
Happy Testing!

*edit Chrome no longer supports this.
Isn't that a "restricted" pop-up that can be handled by prepending the address with username and password?
Instead of driver.get("http://www.example.com/"); go for driver.get("http://username:password#www.example.com");.

manifest.json
{
"name": "Webrequest API",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "Extension to handle Authentication window",
"permissions": [
"webRequest",
"webRequestBlocking",
"<all_urls>"
],
"background": {
"scripts": [
"webrequest.js"
]
},
"manifest_version": 2
}
webrequest.js
chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired.addListener(function(details){
console.log("chrome.webRequest.onAuthRequired event has fired");
return {
authCredentials: {username: "yourusername", password: "yourpassword"}
};
},
{urls:["<all_urls>"]},
['blocking']);
Not certain why the '--no sandbox' option is required, but for me this is not required.
I did need to perform a registry edit to allow adding extensions since this is disabled with a corporate AD policy:
Open regedit.exe as admin
navigate to
Computer\HKEY_USERS\
Change the REG_SZ value that is now set to * to for example -.
restart the chrome instance in which you want add extensions to.
The only difference with the original answer is the url's that also need to be present in the permissions.
extra's
if you want to see console output, turn on developer mode and click on the Inspect views background page for your extension in the extensions screen in Chrome
I know your situation is Java, but this might be helpful. I was able to get past the alert using this approach in C#:
// I am using a static instance of the driver for this.
Driver.Instance.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
var alert = Driver.Instance.SwitchTo().Alert();
alert.SendKeys($"{Driver.user_name}" + Keys.Tab + $"{Driver.user_password}" + Keys.Tab);
alert.Accept();
Driver.Instance.SwitchTo().DefaultContent();
I then utilized a test user account as the values of the user_name and password.
Selenium 4 supports authenticating using Basic and Digest auth . It's using the CDP and currently only supports chromium-derived browsers
Java Example :
Webdriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
((HasAuthentication) driver).register(UsernameAndPassword.of("username", "pass"));
driver.get("http://sitewithauth");
Note : In Alpha-7 there is bug where it send username for both user/password. Need to wait for next release of selenium version as fix is available in trunk https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/commit/4917444886ba16a033a81a2a9676c9267c472894
How to handle Login Authentication pop up without using Auto it?
Can any one could help me in doing this...
you can use like below:-
driver.get("http://UserName:Password#Example.com");
Give your username in place of username, same for password and change example.com with your website
OR
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent());
alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(**username**, **password**));
Hope it will help you :)
Joe Colantonio has explained - How to Automate Non-Browser Based Functionality in very simple steps. Please go through this link. Please note that he has used AutoIT for the same [which is your requirement], but it will work only for windows platfrom
I guess you are trying to handle basic authentication popup which comes through Java Script. You can handle the java script based authentication by putting the UserId and Password in your URL. Make your URL something like below and them It wont ask to enter the credentials in popup
http://UserID:Password#YourWebsite.com
I'm trying to test the "Remember Me" functionality of a login form. I'm able to type in the user name and password, click the checkbox, click submit, and quit() or close() the browser. But when I reopen the browser with new ChromeDriver() (or any other WebDriver implementation), the test site does not remember anything because all cookies are deleted when the browser is closed and cannot be accessed when the browser is reopened.
For Chrome (config):
You have to set the path to user-dir which will save all the login info after you login for the first time. The next time you login again, login info from the user-dir will be taken.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "res/chromedriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("test-type");
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
options.addArguments("user-data-dir=D:/temp/");
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.binary","res/chromedriver.exe");
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY,options);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
Login for the first time:
driver.get("https://gmail.com");
//Your login script typing username password, check 'keep me signed in' and so on
Close the driver (do NOT quit):
driver.close();
Re-initialize the driver and navigate to the site. You should not be asked for username and password again:
driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
driver.get("http://gmail.com");
The above can be implemented for firefox using a firefox profile.
If the "Remember Me" feature is implemented using persistent cookies (I doubt that there is any other way to implement it), then you can actually test the feature in a cross-browser compatible way by programmatically manipulating the cookies. Cookies with an expiration date (or Expiry in the Selenium API) are persistent cookies and are stored when the browser is closed and retrieved when the browser is re-opened. Non-persistent cookies are not stored when the browser is closed. With this information, we can simulate what should happen when the browser closes, by programmatically deleting all non-persistent cookies:
// Check the "Remember Me" checkbox and login here.
Set<Cookies> cookies = webDriver.manage().getCookies();
for (Cookie cookie : cookies) {
// Simulate a browser restart by removing all non-persistent cookies.
if (cookie.getExpiry() == null) {
webDriver.manage().deleteCookie(cookie);
}
}
// Reload the login page.
webDriver.get(currentLoginPageURL);
// Assert that some text like "You are logged in as..." appears on the page to
// indicate that you are still logged in.
