Run internet explorer as different user using Sele

问题:

I want to launch single Internet explorer instane as different user with Selenium. I referred to the following post but not getting anywhere.

How can I run Internet Explorer Selenium tests as a specific domain user?

Can you point me in the right direction how it can be achieved?

You can achieve that using URI authentication. For Google Chrome that behavior works without any additional changes, but for IE it blocked by default. You can unlock it by:

Set the DWORD value's value data to 1 in one of the following registry keys.

• For all users of the program, set the value in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet
  Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE
• For the current user of the program only, set the value in the
  following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE

After that you will be able to use next URI to achieve your needs: http://username:password@host/ If you want to provide domain name, you need encode that like http://domain%5Cusername:password@host/
