Protractor: Automating E2E Testing — Select Certif

Question

I'm writing E2E - Test for our Business Application's. Because it's an enterprise environment, I have to choose Client Certificates to access the different Webapps (I have installed different certificates for different test users).

As long as I start the tests manually, it's no problem to first select the appropriate cert. But when to trigger them in the automated build, that does not work. I wasn't able to select the certificate using Protractor itself.

At the moment, I've a script which first deletes all cert's, then install's a specific one and start's the test's using IE. With Chrome there is still a pop-up for selecting the cert. So I can run the test's in automation only in IE at the moment.

Has anybody a suggestion, how this could be improved? I tried a lot of things, as suggested by Google, Stackoverflow etc. but nothing really worked. Or has anybody some experience in automating Protractor Test's using different certificates?

Thank's for the help.

Not direct solution but if it is automated build you may use --headless argument:

capabilities: {
  'browserName': 'chrome',
  chromeOptions: {
    args: [ "--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--window-size=800,600" ]
  }
}
