How to automatically authenticate when launching a web app from Katalon Studio in Firefox

Question

I am making test cases using Katalon Studio. The problem is that when I launch the test case on Firefox it shows me the "Authentication Required" popup. Instead when I use Chrome or Explorer it doesn't happen. How can I get rid of this popup when I use Firefox?

is it HTTP Basic Authentication dialog? or something else? can you put a screenshot. — Gaurang Shah, Jul 24 '17 at 11:24
it says: "http.//localhost:xxxxx requires a username and a password" — nix86, Jul 24 '17 at 12:02
visit website like this `driver.get("http://username:password@WebsiteURL")` — Gaurang Shah, Jul 24 '17 at 12:14
Already tried.The problem is that I use Katalon Studio. So for me it's WebUI.openBrowser("http://username:password@WebsiteURL"). But it doesn't work. — nix86, Jul 24 '17 at 12:26

It should be: WebUI.openBrowser("http://username:password@WebsiteURL") instead of WebUI.openBrowser("username:password@WebsiteURL")

Have you tried it directly on your browser without using Katalon Studio? Is it the same? – Zarashima Jul 25 '17 at 11:03
Yes. If I don't use Katalon Studio the authentication required popup doesn't appear. – nix86 Jul 26 '17 at 10:41
If this method failed, one possiblity is that your password contain special character. In that case you can use `import java.net.URLEncoder;` and then `def password = "myp@ssword"` `password = URLEncoder.encode(password , StandardCharsets.UTF_8.toString())` – Ng Sek Long Apr 01 '20 at 07:24

Please try WebUI.Authenticate(url, username ,passsword, timeoutseconds).

That should do the job, did it for me .

It doesn't work. Because I have integrated authentication. – nix86 Jan 30 '18 at 08:28
