Firefox under RunAs mode

Question

Hi, I have a problem. I want to run Firefox application under non administrator account, so I run it like: TestedApps["firefox"]["RunAs"]("mydomain", "user", "password"). But then TestComplete doesn't have access to page content (Sys["Process"]("firefox")["Page"]("*") doesn't even appear in Object Browser). In case of InternetExplorer the same thing works perfectly. Do I do something wrong or is it incorrect behavior?

Thanks for answer

Hi Tomas,We cannot reproduce this issue on our side.What version of FireFox are you using? TC 7.52 supports Firefox ver. 1.5.0.1 - 3.5.Also, make sure that you run TC under as administrator. Here is a quote from the "TestedApp.RunAs" help topic:In order for TestComplete to be able to test the application that is launched with the RunAs method, it is recommended that TestComplete is running under the administrator account. If TestComplete is running under a user account, it may not have enough permissions to retrieve information about the tested application’s windows and objects.

Hi,&nbsp;Thanks for reply.&nbsp;I am using Firefox 3.5.7, TestComplete version: 7.52.678.7. I run TestComplete normally under Administrator account and then I am just executing commands from TestComplete script workspace. I added 2 screenshots of object browser as an attachment. in firefox_run.png is firefox ran under administrator account with following command: TestedApps["firefox"]["Run"](). In firefox_runas.png is firefox ran under "tester" (user) account with following command: TestedApps["firefox"]["RunAs"]("domain", "tester", "password"). As you can see in run under administrator there is normal access to page content, but in run under tester account ["Page"] and ["UIPage"] are missing. In addition there is another process "TCRunAs" under "tester" account as well.&nbsp;--Tomáš PánikQuality Assurance SpecialistCustomer ServicesAVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o.email: tomas.panik@avg.com

Hi Tomas,Have you configured DCOM settings correctly (see the "Settings Required for Testing Open Applications in RunAs Mode" online help topic)?
