Problems with Security Certificates in different browsers.

Hi Guys,     I'm trying to do an CrossBrowser Test, but I'm having a problem when running the test, because the web site that I'm testing asks for a security certificate, but as we are developing ...

    The reason is due to a lack of a certificate from an recognized issuing authority. As a workaround, if IIS is installed on the machine under test, you can use IIS to create a Self Signed Certificate (IIS > Machine Name > Server Certifcates). Once the self-siigned certifcate is created, you can then 'point' the browser at that when prompted the first time by Chrome which will recognize the certificate as long nothing changes to invalidate the certificate.

You could check the browser name at the top of the test and then execute a separate little routine that clicks past the security options in each browser you are testing.

    Hi, I'm trying that, but I'm having an issue with chrome, due to Chrome does not recognize the objects on the security page, but it only happens on the security page.

    So, I have to record by the position of each element and I don't like this idea of recording by the position.

     

    So, do you have any idea, how can I workaround that?

     

    Here is an screenshot

      I haven't run into that before.  I suggest you post this over in the Functional Web Testing thread.  I bet someone over there can help.
