Can Selenium Grid be configured to require authentication?


How can I force the Selenium hub/node require a password to be accessed? I don't mean authenticate the browser. I mean require the Selenium server to ask for a password before it will execute a test.

It seems that if you are running a Selenium hub or node you are at great risk unless you are in a very private network.


Solution

  • Right now the answer is no.

    It is however an open source project so you could write the functionality to do this and offer up a patch. the source is available here:

    Or if you prefer github, the github mirror is:
