I am using Selenium to launch a browser. How can I deal with the webpages (URLs) that will ask the browser to accept a certificate or not?
In Firefox, I may have a website like that asks me to accept its certificate like this:
On the Internet Explorer browser, I may get something like this:
On Google Chrome:
I repeat my question: How can I automate the acceptance of a website's certificate when I launch a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome) with Selenium (Python programming language)?
This question is related to

It looks like it still doesn't have a standard decision of this problem. In other words - you still can't say "Okay, do a certification, whatever if you are Internet Explorer, Mozilla or Google Chrome". But I found one post that shows how to work around the problem in Mozilla Firefox. If you are interested in it, you can check it here.
For Firefox:
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile myprofile = profile.getProfile("default");
myprofile.setAcceptUntrustedCertificates(true);
myprofile.setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer(true);
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(myprofile);
For Chrome we can use:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("chrome.switches", Arrays.asList("--ignore-certificate-errors"));
driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
For Internet Explorer we can use:
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
Webdriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(capabilities);
Delete all but the necessary certificate from your browser's certificate store and then configure the browser to automatically select the certificate when only one certificate is present.
Creating a profile and then a driver helps us get around the certificate issue in Firefox:
var profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.SetPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris","DESIREDURL");
driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);
Javascript:
const capabilities = webdriver.Capabilities.phantomjs();
capabilities.set(webdriver.Capability.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);
capabilities.set(webdriver.Capability.SECURE_SSL, false);
capabilities.set('phantomjs.cli.args', ['--web-security=no', '--ssl-protocol=any', '--ignore-ssl-errors=yes']);
const driver = new webdriver.Builder().withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome(), capabilities).build();
Just an update regarding this issue.
Require Drivers:
Linux: Centos 7 64bit, Window 7 64bit
Firefox: 52.0.3
Selenium Webdriver: 3.4.0 (Windows), 3.8.1 (Linux Centos)
GeckoDriver: v0.16.0 (Windows), v0.17.0 (Linux Centos)
Code
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/home/seleniumproject/geckodrivers/linux/v0.17/geckodriver");
ProfilesIni ini = new ProfilesIni();
// Change the profile name to your own. The profile name can
// be found under .mozilla folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile.
// See you profile.ini for the default profile name
FirefoxProfile profile = ini.getProfile("default");
DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
FirefoxBinary firefoxBinary = new FirefoxBinary();
GeckoDriverService service =new GeckoDriverService.Builder(firefoxBinary)
.usingDriverExecutable(new
File("/home/seleniumproject/geckodrivers/linux/v0.17/geckodriver"))
.usingAnyFreePort()
.usingAnyFreePort()
.build();
try {
service.start();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setBinary(firefoxBinary).setProfile(profile).addCapabilities(cap);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.get("https://www.google.com");
System.out.println("Life Title -> " + driver.getTitle());
driver.close();
For people coming to this question related to headless chrome via python selenium, you may find https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=721739#c102 to be useful.
It looks like you can either do
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--allow-insecure-localhost')
or something along the lines of the following (may need to adapt for python):
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()
DesiredCapabilities caps = DesiredCapabilities.chrome()
caps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options)
caps.setCapability("acceptInsecureCerts", true)
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(caps)
And in C# (.net core) using Selenium.Webdriver
and Selenium.Chrome.Webdriver
like this:
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("--ignore-certificate-errors");
using (var driver = new ChromeDriver(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location),options))
{
...
}
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions().addArguments("--proxy-server=http://" + proxy);
options.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
Whenever I run into this issue with newer browsers, I just use AppRobotic Personal edition to click specific screen coordinates, or tab through the buttons and click.
Basically it's just using its macro functionality, but won't work on headless setups though.
In selenium python, you need to set desired_capabilities
as:
desired_capabilities = {
"acceptInsecureCerts": True
}
WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--ignore-certificate-errors");
driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
I have used it for Java with Chrome browser it is working nice
I was able to do this on .net c# with PhantomJSDriver with selenium web driver 3.1
[TestMethod]
public void headless()
{
var driverService = PhantomJSDriverService.CreateDefaultService(@"C:\Driver\phantomjs\");
driverService.SuppressInitialDiagnosticInformation = true;
driverService.AddArgument("--web-security=no");
driverService.AddArgument("--ignore-ssl-errors=yes");
driver = new PhantomJSDriver(driverService);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("XXXXXX.aspx");
Thread.Sleep(6000);
}
I had the exact same issue. However when I tried opening the website manually in the browser the certificate was correct, but in the details the name was "DONOTTRUST".
The difference of certificate was caused by Fiddler that was running in background and decrypting all HTTPS content before reencrypting it.
To fix my problem, just close Fiddler on machine. If you need to keep Fiddler opened, then you can uncheck Decrypt SSL in Fiddler Settings.
I ran into the same issue with Selenium and Behat. If you want to pass the parameters via behat.yml
, here is what it needs to look like:
default:
extensions:
Behat\MinkExtension:
base_url: https://my-app.com
default_session: selenium2
selenium2:
browser: firefox
capabilities:
extra_capabilities:
acceptInsecureCerts: true
For Firefox Python:
The Firefox Self-signed certificate bug has now been fixed: accept ssl cert with marionette firefox webdrive python splinter
"acceptSslCerts" should be replaced by "acceptInsecureCerts"
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.desired_capabilities import DesiredCapabilities
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
caps = DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX.copy()
caps['acceptInsecureCerts'] = True
ff_binary = FirefoxBinary("path to the Nightly binary")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=ff_binary, capabilities=caps)
driver.get("https://expired.badssl.com")
For those who come to this issue using Firefox and the above solutions don't work, you may try the code below (my original answer is here).
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.DEFAULT_PREFERENCES['frozen']['marionette.contentListener'] = True
profile.DEFAULT_PREFERENCES['frozen']['network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist'] = False
profile.DEFAULT_PREFERENCES['frozen']['security.cert_pinning.enforcement_level'] = 0
profile.set_preference('webdriver_assume_untrusted_issuer', False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.folderList", 2)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting", False)
profile.set_preference("browser.download.dir", temp_folder)
profile.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk",
"text/plain, image/png")
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
