Question

currently, I am entering every time i run my test which is very painful but looking to make it more automated….

I have goggled and found two links here and here but no avail

Answer 1

After spending hours reading I finally found the solution which works pretty well and I hope this will help others too. – Enjoy!!

First – follow this steps:

1) Open the FireFox browser
2) Type the following `about:config`
3) Look for `network.http.phishy-userpass-length` if you don't find then create a new Integer key 
Create a new Integer key (right-click->New->Integer): `network.http.phishy-userpass-length` with value `255`

Second: You need to create a Firefox driver with the following:

FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.SetPreference("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);
profile.SetPreference("network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris", "YOUR HOST ADDRESS HERE");
_driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

let me know if you have any questions.
