Question

Handling untrusted SSL certificates in different browsers using Selenium

Answer 1

Hi Ishita, you can handle untrusted SSL certificates in different browsers by using these code snippets:

1. In Chrome Browser:

   •  // Create object of DesiredCapabilities class
     DesiredCapabilities cap=DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
     
     // Set ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS  variable to true
     cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
     
     // Set the driver path
     System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","Chrome driver path");
     
     // Open browser with capability
     WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver(cap);

2. In Internet Explorer:

   • // Create object of DesiredCapabilities class
     
     DesiredCapabilities cap=DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
     
     // Set ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS  variable to true
     cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
     
     // Set the driver path
     System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver","IE driver path");
     
     // Open browser with capability
     WebDriver driver=newInternetExplorerDriver(cap);

3. In Safari:

   • // Create object of DesiredCapabilities class
     
     DesiredCapabilities cap=DesiredCapabilities.safari();
     
     // Set ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS  variable to true
     cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
     
     // Set the driver path
     System.setProperty("webdriver.safari.driver","Safari driver path");
     
     // Open browser with capability
     WebDriver driver=new SafariDriver(cap);

Hey Ishita, you can also handle SSL certificate for Firefox by using follow lines of code:

FirefoxProfile profile=new FirefoxProfile();

profile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);

WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver(profile);

driver.get("www.123movies.sc");

We dont have FirefoxDriver(FirefoxProfile) constructor
