How to handle browser authentication in Webdriver - selenium

I am trying to automate a web application deployed in an websphere application server environment. Websphere has application security enabled, so to access the application an username and password is required in the browser popup box. I am having a hard time automating the username password entry in this box from selenium webdriver. Most of the answers found on google suggest using "user:pass#URL" format, but this does not work for me. I am using firefox as a browser and using java as the language. How to solve this issue ?

How do you approach in situations where you enter username and password in normal window? Don't you externalize username and plain passwords in config files? If security is concern, save in encrypted format in config files and decrypt at run time. Getting around the JS popups is not easy and straightforward, using Robot solution is flaky too.
Send username and password through url like http://username:password#your-app.com. This should work.
String url = "http://username:password#your-app.com";
driver.get(url);

Login through Google SSO using automated browser

I am trying to automate login to my app which uses among others, google sso authentication.
However login form return error "This browser or app may not be secure.". I set my google account options to allow less secure apps but still nothing.
I browsed few topics:
GMail is blocking login via Automation (Selenium)
Selenium Google Login Block
Automation Google login with python and selenium shows ""This browser or app may be not secure""
And it seems that google is blocking this way at all in favor of oauth.
People write in these topics that solutions stopped working recently
So is it currently possible, to set ChromeDriver somehow using capabalities, to be able to login through SSO?. I need a simple solution, that will run headless with other scripts on cloud (not something that would require me to manually login first on another instance as one anwser suggests).
If its not possible or extremly complicated please tell me I will not waste time on it.
If you want to use chrome capabilities, what you can do is set the user-data-dir to a chrome profile that has already been signed in using SSO.
You should look up how to reuse chrome profiles with selenium.
If your accounts have 2 steps verifications, google believe it's safer and allows you to get login. Then the issue will be how to handle the 2 steps verifications. Working on that :/

Testcafe - Typing user name and password into Native Dialog

I'm using Testcafe to test a corporate web solution.
One of the ways we authenticate is Windows authentication.
If this type of authentication is enabled, on the page load, a native dialog appears and I have to type in user name and password and click Sign In, or Cancel.
I couldn't find an explanation or example of this in TestCafe.
Can anyone please help with this?
You can use the approach described in the HTTP Authentication topic for this purpose.

Selenium Webdriver Login activity on Amazon.com: “Verification needed”

I am trying to run some automated tests on amazon.com by using Selenium Webdriver. I tried to log in to the system but after entering the password, system either directs to “Verification needed” page and says “We will email you a code to verify your identity. This is required when something about your sign-in activity changes, like signing in from a new device or location.”
or directs to “wrong password or email” page (eventhough I try correct account information).
So my question is: How can I handle that two factor authentication in my test script?
Note: I am using ChromeDriver and Java
there are two possible approaches:
first one, you can as Kiril S mentioned, get the link from email (mailinator.com is fine inbox for such testing).
second approach is avoiding the second verification with existing browser profile. Selenium uses a temporary profile, that's probably the reason of the second verification. I'm using existing browser profile (firefox), see Selenium Chromedriver - Open Chrome Normally. For Chrome should be similar.

handle windows login pop-up using selenium web driver for https website

My scenario:
I am opening a https website, I get a login pop-up that is not identified by selenium webdriver. I have searched and found the below link which had similar question.
How to handle login pop up window using Selenium WebDriver?
I tried he solution given by #Pavel Janicek to pass the credentials via URL
It does not working for me, I mean after the browser is opened it keeps processing nothing happens after that.
In my case, it is a https site,i need to give username#domainname & password to login, giving only username will not work
my url looks like this
https://username#domainname:password#sitename.com
Has anyone faced this kind of problem?
Thanks
You can NOT auth with this window(in selenium without any additional framework as Robot). But you can auth without getting this window. Try change URL to: http://user:password#www.yourserveradress.com
if this will not help, you need to create separated profile in browser, pass authentication on this server and remember password and use this profile in selenium. Also I think its possible to use Windows active directory authentication, but cannot sure about details.

How to use Selenium with Digest Authentication?

I am looking for a good way to use Selenium with Digest Authentication (for a flex UI though I don't think that makes a difference if I can't do authentication). I'd like to avoid platform-dependencies such as using AutoIT to drive browser pop-ups (since cross-platform testing is a motivator for going to Selenium), though if there's a good cross-platform library for doing such things that would work fine.
I'm thinking maybe there is a way to use a separate http client to create a session and then pass the session credentials off to the browser, but I'm not sure how to inject the session ID into the browser requests. That's just an idea I had, not sure how feasible it is.
You could try using an HTTP proxy, such as AuthProxy by #CarlYoungblood.
It's an HTTP proxy server written in Ruby which was developed specifically for testing a server that required basic authentication with Selenium, but it should also work on a server with digest authentication.
Simply explained, you cannot automate a Flex UI from Selenium, as it doesn't handle Flash for testing (you can embed the flash plugin in your browser, but Selenium won't be able to test against flash component...)
Even if you can authenticate, you won't be able to test anything, so, you should try something else, like Sikuli
