How do I handle a Windows Authentication using Selenium

Question

I am attempting to automate a process using selenium with Java. I am trying to navigate to a URL, which the test does do. A screen pops out over the top of Firefox asking for a user name and password. When this screen pops out, firebug stops working and I cannot get any information about this screen.

How do I handle a modal dialogue with Selenium, when I cannot find anything about it?

Which browser are you using? In Firefox with CTRL+U you can view the page source..Try that and search for username or password so you can locate the id's you need. — Xwris Stoixeia

If it is a real dialog box, it's an 'alert' and Selenium2 has a feature for that. — bmargulies

I guess, that you are trying to get to HTTP Authentification protected page. Try getting here like this:

driver.get("http://username:[email protected]");

Where driver is assumed as healthy and living instance of WebDriver

This actually did not work, the dialog still displays. Instead of running the tests in Firefox as I had wanted I ran them in IE which was using NTLM so I didn't need to input my information.
