15. Handling Basic Authentication Using Webdriver

Here is post which explains you how to handle basic authentication.

Problem:

Some of the applications that are secured with Basic Authentication. If you want to access those applications first you need to pass credentials. Those applications will launch a system level pop-up which cant not be handled by selenium.

If you access below url it will ask for authentication.

http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth

Solution:

By specifying userName and password in URL when accessing the page we can avoid system level dialog. This approach will work for HTTP and HTTPS pages.

package Others;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;

import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

public class authentication {

       public WebDriver driver;

       @Test

       public void testBasicAuth() {

              //UserName --admin

              //Password --admin

              //URL --- http://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth

              //Updated URl -- http://admin:admin@the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth

              driver.get("http://admin:admin@the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth");

              //assert Text

              String actualText=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@class='example']/p")).getText();

              Assert.assertEquals(actualText, "Congratulations! You must have the proper credentials.");

              System.out.println("Test passed");

       }

       @BeforeClass

       public void beforeClass() {

              System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\Softwares\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");      

              driver = new ChromeDriver();

              driver.manage().window().maximize();

              driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

       }

       @AfterClass

       public void afterClass() {

              driver.quit();

       }

}
