For the Firefox, you need to set accept_untrusted_certs
FirefoxProfile()
option to True
:
from selenium import webdriver
profile = webdriver.FirefoxProfile()
profile.accept_untrusted_certs = True
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
driver.get('https://cacert.org/')
driver.close()
For Chrome, you need to add --ignore-certificate-errors
ChromeOptions()
argument:
from selenium import webdriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('ignore-certificate-errors')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)
driver.get('https://cacert.org/')
driver.close()
For the Internet Explorer, you need to set acceptSslCerts
desired capability:
from selenium import webdriver
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities().INTERNETEXPLORER
capabilities['acceptSslCerts'] = True
driver = webdriver.Ie(capabilities=capabilities)
driver.get('https://cacert.org/')
driver.close()
Actually, according to the Desired Capabilities
documentation, setting acceptSslCerts
capability to True
should work for all browsers since it is a generic read/write capability:
acceptSslCerts
boolean
Whether the session should accept all SSL certs
by default.
Working demo for Firefox:
>>> from selenium import webdriver
Setting acceptSslCerts
to False
:
>>> capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
>>> capabilities['acceptSslCerts'] = False
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=capabilities)
>>> driver.get('https://cacert.org/')
>>> print(driver.title)
Untrusted Connection
>>> driver.close()
Setting acceptSslCerts
to True
:
>>> capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities().FIREFOX
>>> capabilities['acceptSslCerts'] = True
>>> driver = webdriver.Firefox(capabilities=capabilities)
>>> driver.get('https://cacert.org/')
>>> print(driver.title)
Welcome to CAcert.org
>>> driver.close()
