Handling Basic Authentication Using Webdriver

October 20, 2015 20
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.

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.
