Attach/Add an existing browser (IE) to an Object for UDF IE.au3

nitekram · April 30, 2013

I have an issue that I want to bypass in Internet Explorer - I know that the correct way would be to have the Cert fixed for the URL, but I do not control that, and in the past is to much of a hassle to get it done.

I am working with internal webpages and when I open I get this kind of message:

There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
 
   
 The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid.

Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.  
  We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.  
  Click here to close this webpage.  
  Continue to this website (not recommended).  
     More information

Anyway, I want to auto click the Continue to this website (not recommended) - how would I go about doing that?

$WebPage = "Certificate Error: Navigation Blocked - Windows Internet Explorer"
     If WinExists($WebPage) And 1 = 0 Then
            MsgBox('','CAUGHT','')
            WinActivate($WebPage)
        Local $sMyString = "Continue to this website (not recommended)."
        ControlClick($WebPage, $sMyString, 'continueToSiteAlign') ;$sMyString) ;'https://neteiss.amer.csc.com/cgi/Explorer.pl')
        ;Exit
        EndIf

I have seen this error before. Is the date/time correct on your computer? More info with a workaround:

You don't say how you get yourself here, but you may need to turn off LoadWait in the _IEx function you are calling so that your code for dismissing the dialog isn't waiting for the IE function call to complete.

I get to this by a favorite, not by IEcreate(), as I have that working for sites I pull up for via my script...what I am doing is in my while/wend loop, I am looking for this to come up and if it does - auto click the link I want.

My computer is fine - with date and time, it has to do with the IIS or whatever they are using internal to the company for Intranet.

Sorry, none of the resolutions from here will work, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931850, as I stated, I have tried to get them to fix it in other companies and they are not willing or unable to fix - most reasons fall on money, as I think I remember that they have to purchase the cert, but in either case, I want a local workaround.

I was thinking that I could use IE.au3 UDF to do what I need to do, but need to be able to get an object from an existing webpage, as far as I can tell with the parameters that each function is looking for, ie Object.

I can produce the source here:

Oh, I see - it is an HTML popup. Attach to it with _IEAttach, DialogBox

MouseSpotter · April 30, 2013

#include <ie.au3>
Local $oIE = _IEAttach("Cert")
_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Continue to this website (not recommended).")

nitekram · April 30, 2013

#include <ie.au3>
Local $oIE = _IEAttach("Cert")
_IELinkClickByText($oIE, "Continue to this website (not recommended).")

WOW, that was really cool - I am so new to IE.au3, and it appears I have a lot more to learn.

Thanks for your time!

So this is circumnavigating a security issue then?

DaleHohm · May 1, 2013

No, it is not. It is working around a web server config issue.

Like all code on this site - it is dependent on usage.

Reading through nitekram's post, the member usage is doing what a user would be required to do within their organisation.
