Hi Rajniikant,

Outside of selenium/manually, how to do login to the application using SSO from the AWS instances? Well generally this can be achieved either using the inline credentials in the URL, eg:

http://username:password@example.com/yourpage

Or Another mechanism is to use the selenium authenticate function as described at http://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/api.html#module-selenium.webdriver.common.alert


Just t
arget the landing page (that redirects you to the sso login) and then you can pass on the username and password and get going. Somewhat like in below example:

pageUrl = "https://abc.xyz.edu"
driver.get(pageUrl)
driver.find_element_by_id("username").click()
driver.find_element_by_id("username").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("username").send_keys("Useraccount")
driver.find_element_by_id("password").clear()
driver.find_element_by_id("password").send_keys("PASSWORD")
driver.find_element_by_name("submit").click()

Please refer to the below doc links for detailed help on creating the selenium scripts:

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Synthetic+Scripts

https://pypi.org/project/selenium/

Hope this helps. Do let me know in case you have further queries. 

Thank You,
