How to bypass the message-"your connection is not private" on non-secure page using Selenium?


I'm trying to interact with the page "Your connection is not private".

The solution of using options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors') is not helpful for two reasons:

  1. I'm using an already open window.
  2. Even if I was using a "selenium opened window" the script runs non stop, and the issue I'm trying to solve is when my browser disconnects from a splunk dashboard and I want it to automatically connect again(and it pops the private connection window).

How do I click on "Advanced" and then click on "Proceed to splunk_server (unsafe)?


Solution

  • For chrome:

    from selenium import webdriver
    
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_argument('--ignore-ssl-errors=yes')
    options.add_argument('--ignore-certificate-errors')
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
    

    If not work then this:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver import DesiredCapabilities
    
    options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    options.add_argument('--allow-insecure-localhost') # differ on driver version. can ignore. 
    caps = options.to_capabilities()
    caps["acceptInsecureCerts"] = True
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=caps)
    

    For firefox:

    from selenium import webdriver
    
    profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
    profile.accept_untrusted_certs = True
    
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
    driver.get('https://cacert.org/')
    
    driver.close()
    

    If not work then this:

    capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
    capabilities['acceptSslCerts'] = True
    driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=capabilities)
    driver.get('https://cacert.org/')
    driver.close()
    

    Above all worked for me!
