I am trying to handle the following issue while trying to automate login process with JMeter WebDriver Sampler to our web app, which requests an authoriaztion certificate for a user to log in.
After filling credentials and clicking the Login button, the following window is called:
dialog window. I assume this is an OS window that cant be aimed by Selenium/WebDriver Sampler script - or is it possilbe?
EDIT: I found some solution e.g. https://sqa.stackexchange.com/questions/7640/how-to-select-security-certificate-from-security-dialog bit I am kind of afraid of implement the recommended code to the script - isnt there another solution then via Selenium script?
I tried to set a certificate in jmeter's system.properties file:
system.properties keystore setting.
I supposed it makes SOMETHING, e.g. some error after launching script, but it ends on the exactly same step - dialog window with Certificate choosing offer. So I assume this is wrong place to set user authentication certificate.
How is it possible to handle this kind of login process? I guess it is necessary to set a default certificate that is paired with the user's credentials I am sending in the previous step in my script, but I dont know where.
What you set in JMeter's "system.properties" file only affects the client certificates for HTTP Request samplers.
WebDriver Sampler is a different beast, it uses Selenium libraries to automate the real browser hence you need to follow your browser documentation to learn how to automate the certificate selection process.
For example for
Chrome on Windows it's in registry
for Chrome on Linux/Unix it's under /etc/chromium/policies/managed folder

I have a webpage which demands for a SSL Certificate, then uses the SSL Certificates to autofill the username, then waits for the user to input the user password and click on a button to proceed to the application itself.
What I would like to do is to create a little Java application which is automatically logging the user passing Certificate, Username and password and then open the application in the default browser.
I was thinking of
1 - sending an initial GET request to collect the Session ID,
2 - send a POST request passing the Certificate, Username and Password
3 - open the requested secure webpage in a browser.
I know how to use a HttpsURLConnection to perform the first 2 steps, however I'm not sure if this workflow makes sense as I don't know how to perform step 3 once I am authenticated.
Is this the correct way of doing this?
Thank you all for all your help.
Hello everyone just writing this solution for those that have a similar problem as maybe they will have to struggle less.
We have a Cloud solution which requires UserName + Password + an SSL Certificate to login.
I wanted to have the possibility to open a specific page in a browser window passing a parameter without having to login and or having to select the Certificate from the list of available certificates.
So my initial approach was not working as I hoped, therefore I started watching into using Selenium to Open a the Web Page passing parameters.
It worked fine and I have configured the program to ask the username and password the first time the program is launched and save them in an encrypted file in the Windows user profile.
Only obstacle I still had was to automatically select the certificate out of the list of available certificates which is presented by the browser.
There are a lot of different posts about this issue, and the majority are not really scalable, until i found one solution: Chrome offers the possibility to set one specific Policy which is called "AutoSelectCertificateForUrls" which allows to specify one Certificate for a specific URL that is automatically selected. So I configured the installer to set this Parameter (needs to be set in the Windows Registry), and this did the trick.
Each Windows user will have his certificate stored in the Current User Certificate Storage and his/her credentials are stored for each user in the Windows User Profile.
The only limitation is that for the time being you can only specify the Certificate Issuer company (therefore if you have multiple certificates from the same company only the first certificate will work), but apparently the Chromium team is working on being able to filter on the "Subject" (this question also helped me with this:
Chrome AutoSelectCertificateForUrls Filter on Subject. I hope this helps others.
I am using Jmeter 2.13 version and with that I used to record many scripts earlier successfully without any issue . Now, my OS has been reinstalled and I am holding Windows 8.1 , 64 bit version.After re installation, I am not able to record HTTPS web applications even though my proxy configuration is correct. After I setup everything in Jmeter, and click on start from work bench and I navigate to the browser try to access the application, it shows "Server not found" message.
However, the scripts which I saved earlier are working fine without any issues. only the new recording is not working.
Help me with the possible solutions.
"Server not found" indicates that browser is unable to access Internet (or intranet).
Most likely you're sitting behind the corporate proxy server and in previous JMeter installation you had these proxy server details specified in system.properties file like:
http.proxyHost=10.20.30.40
http.proxyPort=3128
https.proxyHost=10.20.30.40
https.proxyPort=3128
Double check with your network administrator if this is the case, if yes - take steps from Using JMeter behind a proxy User Manual chapter.
You can also try out JMeter Chrome Extension as an alternative solution - in that case you don't have to worry about proxies and SSL certificates substitution.
I am trying to login to web outlook of test exchange server. Using selenium webdriver I am able to input the username , password and then click on the sign in button in web outlook. But after clicking there is no response in selenium neither throwing exception.No actions beyond the click will be performed.
But same scenario if I am running with HTTP instead of HTTPS, everything works fine.
Does it has to do something with IE settings? I have unchecked 'Warn about certificate address mismatch *" in Advanced section of Internet Options. This is done to bypass the SSL certificate error.
There may be few reasons.
1)Element may be out of focus. try focusing the element by using sendKeys(Keys.CONTROL).
2)There may be a page refresh happening or AJAX call when you are trying to click element. try using implicit wait until ajax call completes.
3)Website which you are trying to automate may be Siebel application(containing Active X Control)
After following the steps described here to create an API :
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/endpoints/getstarted/backend/helloendpoints
I open the following URL on my browser :
http://localhost:8080/_ah/api/explorer
after running
mvn appengine:devserver
to test the API locally.
However, the browser redirects to
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/endpoints/getstarted/backend/helloendpoints
and the following error appears in red :
You are exploring an API that is described or served via HTTP instead of HTTPS. This is insecure and may be blocked by your browser. To fix this, set up a TLS proxy for your API. Alternatively, you can tell your browser to allow active content via HTTP at this site (on Chrome, click the shield in the URL bar), but this will not improve security or dismiss this message.
and the API explorer is blank
What is the best way around this?
The best way around this is in the error message.
To fix this, set up a TLS proxy for your API. Alternatively, you can tell your browser to allow active content via HTTP at this site (on Chrome, click the shield in the URL bar), but this will not improve security or dismiss this message.
You can create a self signed ssl cert and set up a local ssl proxy that forwards to your application or you can tell your browser to allow mixed content (http inside of https). Both ways will work, I personally use the latter method and click the shield icon in Chrome to tell it that it is OK.
My website uses SSL and takes them directly to a Java applet after login. The applet yields a warning screen proclaiming that the website's certificate can't be verified. After clicking "Yes" to continue anyway, a second pop up appears with:
Identification required. Please select certificate to be used for authentication.
Underneath that message, there is a white box that I assume is supposed to list certificate options. Mine doesn't have any options, so I am forced to click "OK" and the applet doesn't load.
The certificates for the website are installed on the browser. I also installed them by right-clicking on the Java icon within the Windows task bar, clicking "Open Control Panel" and installing them through the Security options.
Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?
You have your Tomcat or whatever configured to request or require SSL client certificates. The effect at the client is the same for both: an incoming CertificateRequest. So it pops up the 2nd dialog. If you cancel and it is 'request' not 'require', the applet should load.
I have had numerous problems with applets and HTTPS recently, including what look like Java plugin bugs, and have concluded that the answer is really to load them via HTTP in plaintext.
The first dialog should be fixed by not using a self-signed SSL certificate.
