How to set Proxy Authentication in seleniumWebdriver for Chrome Browser

Question

I'm trying to Automate a web application selenium 2.0 [webdriver+java].The web application is currently deployed in our UAT servers on our local network.My test cases are executing, but I have to manually enter the Proxy Authentication details for my Chrome instance at the start of the test execution. I have tried all the solutions provided on stack overflow but still, the authentication message pops out.

This is the code I'm using in my driver initializing process

package com.misyn.ess.ui;

import java.util.Arrays;
import org.openqa.selenium.Proxy;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

/**

public class DriverClass {

    private String baseUrl;
    private String driverPath;
    private String driverName;
    private static WebDriver driver;
    private static DriverClass driverClass;

        private DriverClass() {
            try {
                baseUrl = "http://192.168.0.10:8282/ess";
                driverPath = "E:\\Work_Folder\\SelTools\\chromedriver.exe";
                driverName = "webdriver.chrome.driver";

                //Set the location of the ChromeDriver
            System.setProperty(driverName, driverPath);
            //Create a new desired capability
            DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
            // Create a new proxy object and set the proxy
            Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
            proxy.setHttpProxy("192.168.0.200:3128");
            proxy.setSocksUsername("avishka");
            proxy.setSocksPassword("12345678");
            //Add the proxy to our capabilities 
            capabilities.setCapability("proxy", proxy);
            //Start a new ChromeDriver using the capabilities object we created and added the proxy to
            driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

            //Navigation to a url and a look at the traffic logged in fiddler
            driver.navigate().to(baseUrl);


    //            System.setProperty(driverName, driverPath);
    //            driver = new ChromeDriver();
    //            driver.get(baseUrl);

            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

Can anyone give me a solution how to give this proxy username and password thing from the application itself than manually entering details on the pop-up(Authentication), any help would be much appreciated.Thanks

the currently answered one is only for

As of Selenium 3.4 it is still in beta Right now implementation is only done for InternetExplorerDriver

Where I'm using selenium 3.0 and Google Chrome as my web browser.

Answer 1

You can do via MultiPass for HTTP basic authentication

Download the extension from
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multipass-for-http-basic/enhldmjbphoeibbpdhmjkchohnidgnah

Download the extension as crx. You can get it as crx from chrome-extension-downloader

After that the config is simple.

import java.io.File;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

/**

public class ChromeAuthTest {

    WebDriver driver;

    public ChromeAuthTest() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
    }

    private void initDriver() {
        ChromeOptions cOptions = new ChromeOptions();
        cOptions.addExtensions(new File("MultiPass-for-HTTP-basic-authentication_v.crx"));
        driver = new ChromeDriver(cOptions);
        configureAuth(
                "https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth",
                "admin",
                "admin");
    }

    private void configureAuth(String url, String username, String password) {
        driver.get("chrome-extension://enhldmjbphoeibbpdhmjkchohnidgnah/options.html");
        driver.findElement(By.id("url")).sendKeys(url);
        driver.findElement(By.id("username")).sendKeys(username);
        driver.findElement(By.id("password")).sendKeys(password);
        driver.findElement(By.className("credential-form-submit")).click();
    }

    public void doTest() {
        initDriver();
        driver.get("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth");
        System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
        driver.quit();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new ChromeAuthTest().doTest();
    }
}

I have used a sample site for testing.

Provide your url,username and password in the configure Auth function and try

Answer 2

This code (from Avishka Perera's answer) does not work for me:

    proxy.setSocksUsername("avishka");
    proxy.setSocksPassword("12345678");

The username and password set in this way do not take effect for the http/https proxy - the Proxy Authentication box still popped up.

I'm using Selenium java 3.141.0, ChromeDriver 2.33 and chrome 70. What works for me is to follow Mike's answer here Selenium using Python: enter/provide http proxy password for firefox . Create the zip file, then add the extension like this:

ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
chromeOptions.addExtensions(new File("src/test/resources/proxy.zip"));
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);

One catch is that the above code will run into error if you set "--headless" argument because chrome in headless mode cannot have extension (Is it possible to run Google Chrome in headless mode with extensions?). If your Chrome runs in Docker container and cannot show the UI, then to get this solution work, you'll need to run with Xvfb instead of in headless mode.

    public class DriverClass {

    private String baseUrl;
    private String driverPath;
    private String driverName;
    private static WebDriver driver;
    private static DriverClass driverClass;

    public DriverClass() {
        try {
            baseUrl = "http://192.168.0.10:8282/ess";
            driverPath = "E:\\Work_Folder\\SelTools\\chromedriver.exe";
            driverName = "webdriver.chrome.driver";
            System.setProperty(driverName, driverPath);

            Proxy proxy = new org.openqa.selenium.Proxy();
            proxy.setSslProxy("192.168.0.200" + ":" + 3128);
            proxy.setFtpProxy("192.168.0.200" + ":" + 3128);
            proxy.setSocksUsername("avishka");
            proxy.setSocksPassword("12345678");

            DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
            desiredCapabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);


            driver = new ChromeDriver(desiredCapabilities);


            driver.get(baseUrl);


        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The proxy setting has been added with desired capabilities to pass values to proxy authentication,worked finally

Answer 4

The approach that worked perfectly fine for me is by using AutoIT.

Install autoIT and prepare a simple script as shown in the picture attached and execute the script file from your testscript using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\YOUR_SCRIPT.exe") before navigating to the baseURL.
