How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java

I'm trying to handle authentication popup using the 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 + "/");

When I execute the test, the page shows the authentication popup and still loading for a until I click cancel button. A that moment, I can access to the next page ,this mean that the authentication success but still always show the authentication popup

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

Popular solution is to append username and password in URL, like, http://username:[email protected]. However, if your username or password contains special character, then it may fail. So when you create the URL, make sure you encode those special characters.

String username = URLEncoder.encode(user, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString());
String password = URLEncoder.encode(pass, StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString());
String url = “http://“ + username + “:” + password + “@website.com”;
driver.get(url);

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

Don't use firefox profile and try below code:

driver.get("http://UserName:[email protected]");

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:[email protected]

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

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);

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);

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:
