Bypass certificate error in IE

Question

I have tried over and over again to get the Internet Explorer Driver to bypass bad cert errors in WebDriver. Currently I do this:

driver.navigate().to("javascript:document.getElementById(‘overridelink’).click()");  

And it works just fine. But it's slow. I read everywhere that I could add in my DesiredCapabilities this:

caps.setCapability(CapabilityType.ACCEPT_SSL_CERTS, true);

But it doesn't work. I've tried several other solutions too. Is this just outdated, and no longer works in IE11? Had anybody found a current solution to this? Thanks!

Answer 1

try this:

driver.findElement(By.linkText("More information")).click();

driver.findElement(By.linkText("Go on to the webpage (not recommended)")).click();

Make sure you have enable protected mode for all zones under Internet Options -> Security.
