Unable to handle Sign-in pop-up using selenium web-driver for any of the browsers

Question

I am trying to hit a URL which asks for authentication pop-up which is neither a window pop-up nor a browser pop-up .

The code driver.get("myURL") will hang/pause unless this popup is entered with user name and password manually . Once the credentials are entered manually , the automation script continues - the next line of driver.get("myURL").

Everywhere AutoIT and other alert methods are mentioned.But the problem is , the code never reaches the next line of driver.get("myURL") unless it is handled manually.

The same URL navigates to login web page on my local machine which I can handle using selenium webdriver without any problem as no alert pops-up.ScreenShotBut the same URL opened in server machine - asks this popup to enter user name and password.

Answer 1

You can pass the authentication with your URL in driver.get(). To do so just add the credentials directly after the protocol separated by : and ending with @ before your actual URL.

For example if your user is "user" and your password is "password": driver.get("https://user:password@yourpage.com");
