Suppress SSL security warning in Firefox when usin

问题:

Is there a way to suppress the warning displayed when accessing sites on HTTPS when using Selenium for automation? I came across the option "-trustAllSSLCertificates", but I wasn't able to get it working. I started my Selenium server the following way:

java -jar selenium-server.jar -trustAllSSLCertificates

... but I still got the security warning. Am I missing some other steps?

Just got it working. Here's how:

In addition to starting the Selenium server with -trustAllSSLCertificates option, the browser that is being launched by Selenium should be configured to use the Selenium server as its proxy.

For example: If Selenium server is started at host myselenium.mycompany.com at the default port 4444, the proxy setting is myselenium.mycompany.com:4444. One way to do automate this is to create a Firefox profile and configure the proxy to this address and port, and pass this created profile as an argument when starting the Selenium server using -firefoxProfileTemplate option.

java -jar selenium-server.jar -trustAllSSLCertificates -firefoxProfileTemplate /path/to/selenium_profile

Use Selenium RC Server 2.X (means version 2+), and run the command

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.X.X.jar -trustAllSSLCertificates

It is For sure working

I was looking for a programmatic way to do that and I got a nice way to do that which fits perfectly into my automation framework. Here is what I do:

//==========Create a RC Configuratoion object and Set trust all SSL certs to true==========

RemoteControlConfiguration rcc = new RemoteControlConfiguration();  
rcc.setTrustAllSSLCertificates(true);

//====Create a SeleniumServer object using the configuration=====================
SeleniumServer serv = new SeleniumServer(rcc);  
serv.start
