Selenium Script – QUALYS WAS

Why Selenium Script in QUALYS Web Application Scan?

The selenium script is an alternative way to authenticate the desired web application URL. In a scenario where your typical web application fails authentication due to continuous bombardment of WAS then one can use Selenium script as it gives a provision to wait for the stipulated timeframe or until the previous authentication session has logged out. This in-turn saves the failure of WAS Scan due to the authentication issue.

Sample Selenium Script:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>

<html xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221; xml:lang=”en” lang=”en”>

<head>

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ />

<link rel=”selenium.base” href=”http://testdemo15.com/&#8221; />

<title>Qualys Selenium_TestDemo15_Admin_v15</title>

</head>

<body>

<table cellpadding=”1″ cellspacing=”1″ border=”1″>

<thead>

<tr><td rowspan=”1″ colspan=”3″>Sample Test Case</td></tr>

</thead>

<tbody>

<tr><td>open</td><td>http://testdemo15.com/login/LoginForm.jsp</td><td></td&gt;

</tr>

<tr><td>click</td><td>id=j_username</td><td></td>

</tr>

<tr><td>type</td><td>id=j_username</td><td>TestDemo15Username</td>

</tr>

<tr><td>click</td><td>id=j_password</td><td></td>

</tr>

<tr><td>type</td><td>id=j_password</td><td>TestDemo15Password</td>

</tr>

<tr><td>click</td><td>css=input.formButton</td><td></td>

</tr>

<tr><td>pause</td><td>60000</td><td></td>

</tr>

<tr><td>waitForElementPresent</td><td>css=div:contains(“Log Out”)</td><td></td>

</tr>

</tbody></table>

</body>

</html>

Explanation of fields used in above Selenium Script:

  • URL under WAS is http://testdemo15.com/ – Enter in the field “selenium.base”
  • Login page for the URL under WAS is http://testdemo15.com/login/LoginForm.jsp – Enter in the field “open”
  • Username for the WAS URL is TestDemo15Username – Enter in the “type” with name “id=j_username”
  • Password for the WAS URL is TestDemo15Password – Enter in the “type” with name “id=j_password”
  • Wait period when authentication of the desired WAS URL is busy is 60000 (in milliseconds) – Enter in the field “pause”
  • An additional wait period until the previous authentication session has logged out can be used – css=div:contains(“Log Out”) – Enter in the field “waitForElementPresent”
