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 target 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:

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

Thank You,
