How to go through the certificate error (insecure connection) screen with the WebDriver GeckoDriver for Firefox?

I'm tapping on a URL that displays this alert.

I've already added in the browser exceptions, but the problem continues. If you uncheck the option " Query OCSP servers to confirm the current validity of the certificates " continues the problem after WebDriver starts a browser session.

I load the profile of it by system default:

private static IWebDriver GetWebDriver(string path)
{
    const string firefoxPath = @"...firefox.exe";

    var service = FirefoxDriverService.CreateDefaultService(@"...GeckoDriver\");
    service.FirefoxBinaryPath = firefoxPath;

    var options = new FirefoxOptions
    {
        Profile = GetFirefoxProfile(path),
    };

    var driver = new FirefoxDriver(service, options, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1));

    return driver;
}

But it still does not work.

I even tried to set:

options.Profile.AcceptUntrustedCertificates = true;
options.Profile.AssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer = true;

profile.SetPreference("acceptInsecureCerts", true);

I do not understand much of selenium in c# , since I'm more adept at the python version, but the idea works for both. Try to absorb the idea and figure out how to reproduce in c# .

Since adding the website to the security exceptions did not work, you can make your webdriver click the "Avançar" link and then "Continuar mesmo assim" .

But ... how to do this?

You need to figure out which element path on the page to tell the webdriver where it should give a .click()

Right-click the "Avançar" link and select "Inspecionar elemento"

Find out which identificador "único" you can use to show your webdriver where to find the "Next" link. This step is a matter of strategy and patience!

After finding a unique identifier such as id , class , name or text , for example, make your webdriver find this element and then click on it.

Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the "Continue anyway" link.

Codes:

Find elem: links = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("a"));
Click on the elem: links.First(elem => elem.Text == "Avançar").Click();

ps: I did not test because I could not reproduce your error.

How to find the unique identifier:

Example using the disc drop button in SOpt.

1st step:

Step2:

3rd step:

I can use this as a unique identifier:

class = btn-clear discard-answer

a

text = descartar

Which strategy will be the most efficient? Maybe the 1st, but you can use any of the 3 strategies to find the button.
