I am having a problem passing my test user's PKI certificates in the headless mode. I am using Java Selenium WebDriver 4.3.0. When I run my test suite in normal mode, my profile and certificates are picked up perfectly. Profile users are selected by the ChromeOptions class by identifying the --user-data-dir= . I have different profiles for each of my test users. Then the certificate is selected by the policy setting (i.e, AutoSelectCertificateForUrls). That also works perfectly. As I navigate to different URL locations my test certificates are presented and accepted correctly when I run in the normal mode.
When I change the mode to Headless=true (i.e., ChromeOptions.addArguents("--headless"), it all falls apart and no certificate is presented when I open a Chrome browser and hit any webpage.
I found that Firefox was extremely simple to manage profiles and PKI test certificates!!! When a test runs in normal mode and works perfectly, all I have to do is set the FirefoxOptions.addCommandLineOptions("--headless"); and it still works perfectly in the headless mode. Not so with Chrome!!!
Does anyone know the correct solution? I could use the information. I am really stuck here.... Is there a way to still make Chrome present PKI certificates in headless mode or does anyone know that this feature really does not work for Chrome/Chromium? Then I could stop wasting my time!
Thanks in advance for your help!
