proxyInjectionMode results in certificate warning page for both piiexplore and pifirefox

Hi all,

I need to use the proxy injection mode, the *chrome and *iehta modes don't work for me. I have read many suggestions from earlier discussions, but they all failed for me.

I have added the certificate to the certificate repositories of both IE and FF.

The error I get with IE is the following:

The security certificate has expired or is not yet valid

If I examine the certificate, the certificate for the AUT is ok. However, the root cerficate from Cybervillians is indeed expired.

The error I get with FF is the following:

Website Certified by an Unknown Authority.,

Unable to verify the identity of webshop-qa.dsm.com as a trustued site.

As soon as a manually click away the windows, the test will continue and behave as expected.

I also tried some of the latest snapshot builds, but those were too unstable to use. I also tried to switch off warnings in the IE settings or in about:preferences in FF. Both without success. I have also tried to set a special Firefox profile, as described in one of the previous postings. This also failed.

I want to get rid of the certificate warning windows. Any help appreciated.

cheers,

Richard.

for firefox, have you disabled all messages under Preferences => Security => Warning Messages => Settings ?

for internet explorer, installing the certificates did nothing for me, but upgrading to service pack 3 got rid of all certificate notices for IE6 and IE7.

What version of selenium are you running? You may want to try the nighly build. When I downloaded any of the other versions the certificate was expired, but the nightly build has a new cert that isn't expired.

you can get the latest certification from the 1.0 snapshot. if you are afraid of the stability, you just fetch the certification from the selenium-server.jar.

all you have to do is:

1. download the selenium rc 1.0 snapshot

2. unpack the zip file

3. get selenium-server.jar package, and unpack it

4. copy the cybervillainsCA.cer from sslSupport folder

5. unpack your selenium-server.jar package, replace the old cybervillainsCA.cer with the new one

6. compress the package.

btw, you also need to re-import the new certification into IE

In the mean time I implemented a workaround as suggested on this forum with AutoIt:

This is the script I used:

Do
    ;; firefox
    if (WinActivate("Website Certified by an Unknown Authority")) Then
        Send("")
    EndIf
    ;; IE
    if (WinActivate("Security Alert")) Then
        Send("Y")

    EndIf

Until 0 = 1

The solution suggested by gim_h alsol works fine. Does someone know if there is a way to prevent the certificate from getting over its validity period?

Thanks for your help!

Richard
