How does Selenium Webdriver handle SSL certificate in Chrome?
We can handle SSL certificate with Selenium webdriver in Chrome browser. A SSL is the standardized protocol used to create a connection between the browser and server.
The information exchanged via a SSL certificate is encrypted and it verifies if the information is sent to the correct server. It authenticates a website and provides protection from hacking.
An untrusted SSL certificate error is thrown if there are problems in the SSL certificate. We shall receive such an error while we launch a website. In Chrome, we use the ChromeOptions class to work with SSL certificates.
We shall create an instance of this class and set the capability - setAcceptInsecureCerts to true. Finally, this property of the Chrome browser shall be passed to the webdriver object.
Syntax
ChromeOptions c = new ChromeOptions(); c.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
Example
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
public class SSLErrorChrome {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//object of ChromeOptions
ChromeOptions c = new ChromeOptions();
//set browser properties
c.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
"C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");
// pass browser option to webdriver
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(c);
//implicit wait
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
//URL launch
driver.get("application url to be entered");
driver.quit();
}
}
