Internet Explorer - Passing credentials through URL

[McBaInN]

Hi All,

This is my first post to the forum and could not find the topic.  I'm currently trying to pass user credentials through the URL in I.E as follows "http://username:password@someplace.com",  but due to security updates Microsoft no longer allows this.  

I have already successfully passed credentials using Chrome and FireFox but also need to ensure the script I am running works with I.E for browser testing.

How can I pass the username and password automatically without putting them in the URL?  When I enter the standard URL the Authentication Required Box appears and i'd like to have this automatically filled so my tests can complete automatically.

Thanks,

McBaInN

I did this for a test

#include <IE.au3>
OnAutoItExitRegister("_UnloadIeException")

_LoadIeException()
Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://Administrator:1@192.168.0.250/config", 0, 1)
_UnloadIeException()



Func _LoadIeException()
    RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE", "iExplore.exe", "REG_DWORD", "0")
EndFunc

Func _UnloadIeException()
    RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE", "iExplore.exe", "REG_DWORD", "1")
EndFunc
