I have the links to the admin area of my website: it is possible to launch those URIs (links) with selenium (in a given browser) without needing to authenticate previously ? If not, then how could I deal with authentication using selenium ?
Not sure what you mean but you can just use selectors and enter credentials to the authentication fields. i.e.
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get(url)
driver.find_element_by_id("IDOFLOGIN").sendKeys("YOUR LOGIN")
driver.find_element_by_id("PASSOFLOGIN").sendKeys("YOUR PASSWORD")
driver.find_element_by_id("login button").click()
# Continue
you can find element not necessarily by ID you can also you class, xpath and so on.

I am automating an internal application of my client which is having LDAP authentication.
I am using Selenium 3.141.59 with C#, Chrome browser 78.
Issue:
When I have open browser manually and place url then browser displaying sign-in Pop-up to enter the userID and password. (refer screenshot)
Same time when Selenium launch browser instance then navigate to same url, it's not showing any sign-in pop-up.
Due this I was unable to continue next steps in automation.
I have tried send the userID and password along with url as blow but it's also not redirecting.
https://userID:password#url
Can anyone help me, how to resolve this issue.
What you have tried is not supported any more. You now have to include authentication headers in requests. In your case I would recommend to set up a proxy which would add headers to all outcoming messages of your browser
For example you can use Browsermob Proxy that you can configure just in your tests. Some details of how basic authentication works you can find here. It is solution for Java, however you can find which headers to set up and which values to assign (In short: header - Authorization: Basic username:password Realm="" where username:password is credentials pair encoded in Base64).
This also might be useful for you: How do I encode and decode a base64 string?
UPD: This is solution for Python Selenium.
I am trying to handle authentication popup through my selenium test by passing username and password in URL.
I have tried following solutions:
I have tried to send username and password in URL
I have tried handling with alert, it doesn't work.
I have tried solutions provided in - How to handle authentication popup with Selenium WebDriver using Java, almost all other than AutoIT, none of them worked for me
I have a Maven project, I am trying to send url with username and password from project.properties file, which looks like this -
URL = https://username:password#URL
open url code-
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.navigate.to(URL);
I get below error in browser console:
"there has been a problem with your fetch operation: Failed to execute 'fetch' on 'Window': Request cannot be constructed from a URL that includes credentials"
I am able to handle this using AutoIT script.
The script looks something like this,
WinWaitActive("Sign in")
Sleep(5000)
Send("username")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("password")
Send("{ENTER}")
I run this script through my code,
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("(path)\AutoIt\script.exe");
driver.get(prop.getProperty(URL));
driver.navigate().refresh();
While automating with selenium if a username and password is entered why doesn't
chrome browser show the option to save credentials as it does in regular
practice.
As mentioned in previous answer, new instance of WebDriver opens fresh browser window, without previous cookies etc.
What could you do is:
When you first start WebDriver and open login page, using selenium enter credentials, make sure you check "remember details" checkbox is present.
Now once you are logged in, you can get cookies from browser using:
driver.manage().getCookies();
You could get all cookies and save them in text file for example.
Next time you open fresh browser, before opening page, load cookies that you previously saved.
driver.manage().getCookies().add(cookie);
Because of the way the web-driver works, it deletes all cookies/caches of information which could accidentally fail a test, you'll notice it doesn't open an ordinary browser, its often a light-weight version of the browser.
If you want it to save cookies and caches you will A) have to specify this in your code, and B) you will have to test around the fact that you have saved passwords, so if you move your tests onto a different computer, the browsers cache will be different and your tests won't work anymore.
Actually The Webdriver Opens The Browser Without Cookies. if You Need To Save Your cookies,you can use these commands,
driver.manage().getCookieNamed(String arg);
driver.manage().getCookies();
driver.manage().getCookies().add(cookie);
All Three are use to Get The Cookie and Save The Cookie.
or
if The Browser Shows a Pop-up,to Save The User name name and Password use can use This,
var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArguments("chrome.switches", "--disable-extensions --disable-extensions-file-access-check --disable-extensions-http-throttling --disable-infobars --enable-automation --start-maximized");
options.AddUserProfilePreference("credentials_enable_service", false);
options.AddUserProfilePreference("profile.password_manager_enabled", false);
var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
Good day to all.
I'm use Selenium WebDriver to automatically test execute. But on development site using HTTP base autentification. I found AutoAuth addon for Firefox. It save login/password and don't need type credentional each time.
But this plugin don't save credentions. I'm reinstall addon and firefox, delete cookie, but nothing. On this machine in other user plugin work successfylly. Maybe, anybody have and resolve this problem?
To author of addon I wrote already.
Way:https://login:passwd#host don't help too...
Do you mean plugin not working on invoking with webdriver? simple way to create profile and call that provide in webdriver.
Here is the way to create firefox profile. Install that add-in and save credentials.
Call above saved profile in webdriver
ProfilesIni allProfiles = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile profile = allProfiles.getProfile("selenium");
WebDriver driver = FirefoxDriver(profile);
Thank You,

If it's a HTTP Basic Authentication, then you can set the credentials in the URL. Note that it requires to set the "network.http.phishy-userpass-length" preference to enable it.
Here is a working example with Selenium / Firefox / Python:
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255)
driver = webdriver.Firefox(profile)
driver.get("http://admin:admin#the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth")
The approach I've used very successfully is to set up an embedded Browsermob proxy server (in Java code) and register a RequestInterceptor to intercept all incoming requests (that match the host / URL pattern in question).
When you have a request that would otherwise need Basic auth, add an Authorization HTTP header with the credentials required ('Basic ' + the Base64-encoded 'user:pass' string. So for 'foo:bar' you'd set the value Basic Zm9vOmJhcg==)
Start the server, set it as a web proxy for Selenium traffic, and when a request is made that requires authentication, the proxy will add the header, the browser will see it, verify the credentials, and not need to pop up the dialog.
You won't need to deal with the dialog at all.
Other benefits:
It's a pure HTTP solution, it works the same across all browsers and operating systems.
No need for any hard-to-automate add-ons and plugins, any manual intervention.
No need for custom profiles, custom preferences etc.
You control credentials in your test code, and don't store them elsewhere.
The AUT contains the login page which validates the user credentials. Once successful, the user needs to hit a new URL in a new tab to access the actual application.
Is it possible to automate the above scenario using selenium RC?
Yes it's possible, but I'd recommend using Selenium WebDriver as it's the current version. Selenium RC is very old.
Using Selenium WebDriver:
driver.navigate().to("http://aut/login");
driver.... // login logic like setting the user/pass clicking login.
...
driver.navigate().to("http://somenewurl.com");
// continue testing here...
If you are adamant on remaining with Selenium 1 (which i could understand if you already have a big suite in it..):
selenium.open("http://aut/login");
selenium... // login logic here
...
selenium.open("http://somenewurl.com");
// continue testing here.
