Selenium WebDriver C# - Bypass Chrome Authentication Required dialog - c#

I have an issue with Selenium WebDriver dealing with Google Chrome Authentication dialog box. I have search the net for 2 weeks but I can't get a definite solution to it.
I have a constraint, which is Selenium WebDriver will run in a remote Windows 2012 R2 server under user SYSTEM, hence running the background WITHOUT Chrome UI displayed.
Due to the constraint above, AutoIT doesn't works as it requires UI to handle the events. Driver.SwitchTo().Alert() doesn't seem to work too as it doesn't capture the alert at all (Some said it works on IE only).
Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://username:password#url.com") doesn't work as well as my website is using SSO Login. It will first navigate to https://www.landingsite.com then redirected to https://authenticationrequired.com/daM2Sc, which the URL for the SSO Login is randomize every single time, so I couldn't bypass the Authentication dialog directly.
I wanted to use a workaround by capturing the authentication URL by using Driver.Url and the add my username and password infront of the URL, but then because of the prompted authentication dialog box, the driver fails to capture the URL and throws a timeout exception.
Some said by adding URL to trusted site would stop the dialog box being prompted but it doesn't work for some reason. It only works in IE.
Is there any other solution to this?

I lost a week to try do that, and when i can do, i think it's amazing. Java code here:
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get(user:pass#URL/);
and you must encode user and pass. Link encode: https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/
My chrome Version 65.0.3325.181 (Official Build) (64-bit)

How to handle windows authentication using C#, Selenium in newest Chrome version?

In newest Chrome version I could not log in using https://user:pass#host/ trick. I have this warning message in console:
[Deprecation] Subresource requests whose URLs contain embedded credentials (e.g. https://user:pass#host/) are blocked. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5669008342777856 for more details.
Anybody can help how to handle windows authentication using Selenium and C# in newest Chrome version?
This what worked for me as I have domain\username for the username authentication:
http://domain%5cusername:password#www.basicauthprotected.com
I got this syntax from here: https://github.com/seleniumhq/selenium-google-code-issue-archive/issues/34#issuecomment-191403434
Also regarding the support of basic authentication in the URL for Chrome, it is back, and it seems that dropping it was a bug as reported by mkwst's comment here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=435547#c33

C# WebDriver Internet Explorer Security Prompts

I am trying to automate testing for a site that uses an iFrame(?) sort of punch-out which links to another website's catalogue to make purchases. The process is the user will login and be able to select a set of catalogues to connect to. Upon clicking a catalogue set they will be prompted w/ this security dialog:
and once they click 'Show all content' they are prompted w/ this:
This will take them to the actual catalogue site where they can place orders. Is there any way to interact w/ these prompts?
Try AutoIT, It can click on the screen using windows ids
https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/
It'll create an exe and just call the exe whenever you like.
Selenium Webdriver is not able to interact with native browser popups. It does with JavaScript alerts and dialogs but that's not what you are trying to do.
The common solution to working with dialogs (file uploads, login dialogs) is to circumvent them by sending the file data or login info to the HTTP request.
See this question or this question for examples of these two scenarios. In your case you can't do that.
You could use another product (something other than Selenium) or change the IE configuration or the setup/environment of the tests so you are not prompted by these security alerts.
For example, for your first alert: "Only secure content is displayed", you can disable it by going in the IE options, security, Custom Level and then disabling Display non secure items.

WebDriver closed or session timeout or NoSuchWindowException when authentication window appears(only on IE)

We are working selenium WebDriver with c# bindings, and building page factory model as per our requirement.
We are facing issue: Selenium WebDriver session timeout or driver closed
Let me explain in two ways where this issue persisting:
If I open non securable URL1 (where we don't require to pass user authentication details to access the page) and then if you navigate with another URL2 (here we need to pass user credentials to access this page) on the same browser, then we are seeing WebDriver session time out or no such window exception or driver closed.
If we open non-securable URL2 site (where we need to pass users credentials) and then we can continue with the same session for other pages by passing different URLs and no issues in this case.
From the above cases, what we observed, if 1st I open securable site URL then I can continue with my work without any issues.
But if 1st I open non-securable and then securable, in this case Selenium WebDriver throwing an error NoSuchwindowException. It is because of the authentication window was in-front of the page (might be).
can any one add solution to overcome from this issue?
note: Which is happening on on IE but on other chrome and FF working fine.
but we have to test our application on IE.

Want WatiN to bypass FireFox Authentication Required dialog

The test is running on a windows network that requires proxy (squid) authentication to access external websites, say www.google.com for sake of example.
Some background things to note
These sites cannot be added to the
proxy white list.
Same WatiN test passes in IE
I have tried tweaking about:config
ntlm settings to allow automatic
passing of saved credentials
www.google.com has been
added to Local Intranet sites
WatiN cannot use LogonDialogHandler
to deal with this, like IE can
The title of the dialog is Authentication Required and reads The proxy myproxy:8080 is requesting a user name and password. The site says "", with a text field for User Name: and Password:
Has anyone got any ideas of how to get around this?
I'm hoping there is something FireFox specific that will allow me to automatically pass through the credentials. An idea I might try is starting the browser with network credentials.
Maybe one of the settings here will help:

EDIT:
This will be fixed in Firefox 4:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521467
Here are some references that might offer other solutions to get around the logon dialog.
In this post they solved it using WindowsAutomation:

This solution passes the credentials in the url:

And this solution uses impersonation:

You could also use FiddlerCore to manipulate the response to the server:
