If you have to deal with NTLM proxy authentication a good alternative is to use a configure a local proxy using CNTLM   The credentials and domain are configured in  etc cntlm conf    Afterwards you can just use you own proxy that handles all the NTLM stuff    DesiredCapabilities capabilities   DesiredCapabilities chrome     Proxy proxy   new Proxy    proxy setHttpProxy  localhost 3128    capabilities setCapability CapabilityType PROXY  proxy    driver   new ChromeDriver capabilities

Popular solution is to append username and password in URL  like  http   username password website com  However  if your username or password contains special character  then it may fail  So when you create the URL  make sure you encode those special characters   String username   URLEncoder encode user  StandardCharsets UTF 8 toString     String password   URLEncoder encode pass  StandardCharsets UTF 8 toString     String url      http         username             password       website com     driver get url
