Selenium Testing HTTPs Trust All certificates working for FF but not IE

Question

I\'ve been playing arround with functional testing using Selenium RC.

I keep running into problems when the test goes to the login page of our site and switches to

Answer 1

There are two steps. One is to start the server with the "-trustAllSSLCertificates" option and the other is to configure the browser to use the Selenium server as its proxy. *iexploreproxy and *firefoxproxy handle the proxy settings for you. Selenium (as of 2.0a5) will auto-configure *firefox to use the Selenium server as a proxy if the "-trustAllSSLCertificates" flag is used. *iexplore, using HTA, is never configured by Selenium to use a proxy. So, you'll need to handle that a priori or via a custom launcher.
