OK so this is a tough one, because googling "set powershell Default Browser" only returns results for setting the system default browser in Powershell. What I want to do is change which browser Powershell uses to open an auth prompt when I attempt to use the Exchange Online Management module. I need to change it because I set "use always" when I chose Edge the first time it popped up, then received a message that Edge is blocked by your administrator. (Weirdly, Edge is not blocked normally, only in this context.) I'm running powershell as local PC admin. (Could this be an Azure/m365 policy blocking edge launch from powershell? Intune managed device. ) I need to change it to Chrome.
Using PS7 as 5 just told me "browser unsupported" (guessing it defaults to IE)
Thanks
Tried numerous google search varying wording, still getting same results about system default browser.
Checked properties of powershell, no browser settings apparent unless I'm blind.

Some background:
We were accessing our RSA Archer application on IE 11 via SSO, and all has been well. But we are required to move on to Edge browser, and that's where we started having the Windows Security credential prompt coming out, whenever we tried to access the application on Edge browser.
The strange thing is, the application is able to load up on Edge properly, in the logged in state, and then the prompt will appear. We can just click on Cancel to close the prompt and we are able to use the application normally. All end users on their client PCs encountered the same problem.
We want to remove the credentials prompt. The RSA support team has confirmed it is not an issue of their product, since there's no problem over at IE. What we have done on our end on the servers:
Enabled SSL on our load balanced environment
Updated the web.config file of the application with the entry below:
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" />
</security>
Configure IIS settings to allow Anonymous Authentication instead of Windows Authentication for the application pages.
Will greatly appreciate some assistance or suggestions on how to move forward. Thanks!
Addon after investigation:
After finally being able to investigate via the development tool for this, we discovered that apparently, the behavior of some components / javascripts were different on IE / Edge.
On IE, if the components / javascripts took too long to load, it will fail (status 304) and retry again until it succeeded (status 200).
On Edge, instead of failing, it will go into "Pending", and then the credentials prompts pops out, and usually there's more than one prompt. We suspect the number is based on the number of pending components / javascripts that are in "Pending". Clicking on Cancel on the prompt will caused the components to not load (status 304), and no retry will happen like in the case of IE.
Able to advise what's wrong? Is there a timeout in the Edge settings?
Open Edges developer tools and go to the Network tab and see which request (URL) is prompting you for credentials. Then you can see what IIS has configured for its security.
We Use IBM Personal Communications iSeries Access for Windows version 6.0. When you launch the program you initially get a Log on Prompt that lets you enter a server, user name and password.
It then gives you the log on screen to the server itself and you have to log on a second time. Between the two log ons I'm trying to work out a "Startup Macro"
I don't have anything in it right now because I cannot figure out how to get ONE particular value from the Session, the USER NAME.
I can get the screen title, session name, macro name, but I can NOT for the life of me figure out how to get the user name. I've tried every possible combination of strings and "variable" names I can think of, and nothing.
I've searched the web and all I can ever find is how to record and auto logon to the green screen which is not what I want.
To be clear I just need the Username used to logon to the Personal Communications iSeries Access for Windows program, pre green-screen logon.
It's important to note that IBM i Access for Windows is much more than just the 5250 emulator. There's an ODBC driver, a printer emulator, AFP printer drivers and the graphical Navigator for i. That IBM i signon popup doesn't come from the 5250 emulator. It comes from a lower level IBM i Access for Windows process. Try it yourself. Reboot the PC. Don't start the emulator. DO start IBM i Navigator for Windows. You'll get the signon popup.
It looks like you are trying to automate a 'no signon' signon. The user name is probably stored in the registry, depending on the version of Windows you are using and the version of IBM i Access for Windows. Windows 7: Start > All Programs > IBM i Access for Windows > IBM I Access for Windows Properties Choose the Administration System tab and you'll see the server and user. HKCU > Software > IBM > Client Access Express > CurrentVersion > AS400 Operations Navigator > Application Administration > CurrentAdminSysUser > My Connections
I think, for this, you need to get into the ActiveX Control that comes with iSeries Access. This little code C# snippet should work:
AS400System sys1 = new AS400System();
sys1.Define("mySystemNameHere");
if (sys1.IsConnected(cwbcoServiceEnum.cwbcoServiceAny) != 1)
{
sys1.Connect(cwbcoServiceEnum.cwbcoServiceTelnet);
}
String user = sys1.UserID;
sys1.Disconnect(cwbcoServiceEnum.cwbcoServiceAll);
You'll need to find cwbx.dll and add it as a reference to your project.
If the user is already connected from another application, no dialog will appear. The program will connect, get the connected user id, and then disconnect. If the user has never connected since logging in, then a logon dialog will appear.
I've got a batch file dmx2vlc which will play a random video file through VLC-Player when called.
It works well locally but I need this to happen on another machine on the network (will be adhoc) and the result (VLC-Player playing the video) must be visible on the remote screen.
I've tried SSH, Powershell and PsExec, but both seem to run the batch file and the player in the session of the command line, even when applying a patch to allow multiple logins.
So IF I get to run the batch file it is never visible on screen.
Using Teamviewer and the like is no option as I need to be able to call all this programmatically from my dmx program.
I'm not bound to being able to call the batch directly, it would be sufficient for me if I could somehow trigger it to run.
Sadly latency is a problem here as we are talking about a lighting (thus dmx) environment.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
You can use PSexec if the remote system is XP with the interactive parameter if you state the session to interact with, 0 would probably be the console (person physically in front of the machine).
This has issues with Windows Vista and newer as it pops up a prompt to ask the user to change their display mode first.
From memory, you could create a scheduled task on the remote system pretty easily though and as long as it's interactive the user should see it.
Good luck.
Try using web interface. It is rather easy: VLC is running http server, and accessing particular URL from remote machine will give full control over VLC. Documentation can be found here
Hi I am currently writing a Test script for an ecommerce site using Seleneium IDE, this is in a testing environment in HTTP. The issue I am having is the test payment gateway 3D Secure is in HTTPS so when using FireFox the browser displays the security warning message when I am returning from the payment gateway 3D Secure HTTPS to the site testing environment.
'Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?'
I have tried the various commands in the IDE for waitForAlert* and asertAlert* but this javascript alert just seems to over ride any of the commands I use and essentially halts the script until manual intervention is used.
I am unable to turn this particular alert off in FF from what I can assertain from various forums as it is too important to be switched off, I have tried in FF about:config
I can obviusly switch the 3D secure off to allow thee script to run, but I would prefer a complete user scenario to be tested as opposed to a test adapted to suit automation.
Many thanks in advance for your time and assistance.
I had exactly the same problem :
I use Selenium web driver to test against my local http server which sends redirects to https service (3DS as well btw ;). The problem is not with certs, but with this hardcoded warning of switching between https/http.
Based on the link from MacGyver's answer and this answer Key press in (Ctrl+A) Selenium WebDriver, I tested this and I can confirm it closes "Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party" dialog:
Alert alert = driver.switchTo().alert();
alert.accept();
The other solution, seems to work fine but you'll get UnhandledAlertException with latest Selenium versions (e.g. 2.25.0) :
Actions a = new Actions(driver);
a.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER).perform();
Option #1:
The easiest way is to remove the option in security options for your profile:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=665552
Option #2:
Not sure if this applies to an untrusted certifiate or your security warning, but the forum thread seemed to fit. It requires that you use Selenium RC Server.

If using Firefox 3, see the following post https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Cert_override.txt
The solution I use to get past this security pop-up is only applicable to Firefox 3 browsers and might be more of an hack than a fix but it works.
Run the selenium test
Select "Accept this certificate permanently" when prompted by popup
Click on the OK button (it might be neccessary to have a pause after this because we need to open explorer to find a file now)
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to => "C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\customProfileDirxxxx"
This is a temparary profile created by Firefox which contains a file called "cert_override.txt"
Copy "cert_override.txt" to your temp directory
Stop your selenium server.
Open your "selenium-server.jar" file from "c:\selenium-remote-control-xxx\selenium-server-xxx" using WinRar
Drag "cert_override.txt" file into the "selenium-server.jar\customProfileDirCUSTFFCHROME" folder in WinRar (do not delete or edit anything in the .jar file!!!!!)
Close WinRar, start selenium and try it again :)
With TestComplete 8 we have a script that is scheduled to start 06:00 every morning by this line:
"C:\Program Files\Automated QA\TestComplete 8\Bin\TestComplete.exe" "C:\Attracs\TestComplete\Attracs\AttracsTEST\AttracsTESTProject.mds" /r /e /SilentMode
The problem is that this often fails. The log remark says:
An error occurred while calling the "Keys" method or property of the "TcxCustomInnerTextEdit" object.
The object or one of its parent objects does not exist.
If I connect to the computer with Remote Desktop and manually run the script it works fine.
There is no screensaver active and the power scheme is set to never sleep.
I have noticed that Testcomplete needs a handle to GUI (the screen is visible) or the script got this kind of errors. Could it be that when it starts it have no handle to the GUI components because they aren't visible ?
From the helps Running Tests via Remote desktop:
However, if you minimize the Remote Desktop window (the window that display the remote computer’s desktop), the operating system switches the remote session to the GUI-less mode and does not display windows and controls. As a result, TestComplete (or TestExecute) is unable to interact with the tested application’s GUI, as the GUI does not actually exist in this case and your automated GUI test fails.
To avoid this issue, you can keep the Remote Desktop window visible during the test run, but this may be inconvenient as it occupies some part or even your entire screen and leaves less space for you to run your local applications.
Any solution for this?
There is a way to enable the console connection in Windows to be active at all times, which allows TestComplete to work without actually connecting with RDP.
From: Running Tests in Minimized Remote Desktop Windows
Log in to the computer from which you
connect to remote computers.
Close all open Remote Desktop
sessions.
Launch the Registry editor
(Regedit.exe).
If you have a 32-bit operating system:
Locate the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal
Server Client\ Registry key if you
want to change the connection settings
for the current user only.
-- or --
Locate the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal
Server Client\ Registry key if you
want to change the connection settings
for all the users.
Create a new DWORD value in this key
and name it
RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized.
Specify 2 as the value data.
If you have a 64-bit operating system:
Locate the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Terminal
Server Client\ Registry key if you
want to change the connection settings
for the current user only.
-- or --
Locate the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Terminal

Add the
RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized
value to the key.

It seems that a solution could be that running TestComplete in a Virtual machine.
/Roland
To run any UI test, the UI needs to be available. Hence, the machine should be unlocked so that TestComplete can perform user actions like mouse click, keys, etc to work.
However, if you have non UI test like running Web Services then it will work.
