How can we handle authentication popup in Selenium WebDriver using Java

+2 votes
I am trying to handle the authentication popup using this code below:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.setPreference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);
profile.setPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "x.x.x.x");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
baseUrl="http://" + login + ":" + password + "@" + url;
driver.get(baseUrl + "/");

On executing the test, page prompts with authentication popup and keeps loading till I click on a cancel button. At point, I am able to access the next page meaning that the authentication is a success..But inspite of that, the authentication popup remains displayed.

Hi

how to use this option in chrome browser

kindly reply soon

Thanks

Praveenraj

Hey @Praveen Raj. 

Handling Authentication Popup is simpler for chrome browser.

You can directly pass the username and password while requesting the URL.

Usually, you do: driver.get("http://www.websitename.com/");

But to handle authentication popups, you have to do this:

driver.get("http://username:password@www.websitename.com");

Hi @Praveen,

With Firefox, the preferences is set using FirefoxProfile
But for Chrome, preferences are set using ChromeOptions

But if you're intention is to anyway disable notifications, then use the below logic"

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","path/to/driver/exe");
WebDriver driver =new ChromeDriver(options);

Hope the code helps! Keep me posted :)

This will fail when we have @ in username or password

So best approach is this -

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

 Alert alert = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.alertIsPresent()); alert.authenticateUsing(new UserAndPassword(username, password));
Hi @Nayan, I agree with you that using @ in username or password will throw an error. But the answer posted by @Vardhan is a very good approach to disable the pop-ups.

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

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

You can probably think of using the Alert method, authenticateUsing(). This lets you skip authentication box. Try this:

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

I hope this helps!

You can use below code for selenium python
Python has an inbuilt package called Autoit. So,
firstly install pyautoit and pyautogui package.

Pip install pyautoit
Pip install pyautogui

Use below code:

autoit.win_wait_active([CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]", 5)
autoit send("username")
pyautogui.press("tab")
autoit.send("password")
pyautogui.press("enter")

Above code works with every chrome browser,. Selenium and python version.

Use autoit tool and find class name using finder tool.
