Workplace client refusing connect with script?

[DannyJ]

Hello Forum,

I want to open our workplace website with AutoIt, and I use this function: 
 

#include <IE.au3>

$oIE = _IECreate ("Workplace Webpage Url") ; Here comes the correct webpage URL of the company website

 

And get this error codes:

--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IELoadWait, $_IESTATUS_ClientDisconnected (-2147023179, Browser has been deleted prior to operation.)

If I use other functions like _IE_Navigate or _IE_Attachm I also get error codes:

-> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IENavigate, $_IESTATUS_InvalidObjectType

I am sure the problem is not with my script, because this function works with other web pages perfectly.

So my suspicion is that I get error code because of some settings is not good in my Internet Explorer settings, but I can open the webpage without a script and use it.

I use IE 11 without compatibility mode.

I have already tried this script with

#RequireAdmin

and I added the webpage to secure sites.

Are there any suggestions?

 

Thank you in advance!

Try removing the protected mode of the intranet (IE Menu Options/tab Security).   See if that works...

[DannyJ]

Thank you very much for your help!

I have found the protected mode and it was disabled.

So unfortunately, this can not cause the issue.

 

I have also tried that, I checked Safety -> AutoX filtering and it not works.

I have also consulted with my boss, and he said that I have all the clearance to access the intranet.

Any other ideas?

Can you access the web site manually with IE ?  Does it have outside references ? Is the initial url changing during the load ?  Any supplemental information would certainly help...

[DannyJ]

Thanks again for your assistance I am grateful  

Yes, I can access to the website manually with IE.

  Does it have outside references? I don't know what that mean ?

Is the initial url changing during the load ?  No it not changes, moreover sometimes if you click inside to other pages in the  site  the url stays the same, Thats can be the problem?

 

I have already read some topics in this forum, and I am not the only one who had this issue that _IE functions not worked with intranet, unfortunately, it is not tackled yet.

If you look at the DOM, do you see http* reference going outside your intranet.  Can you post the differernt codes you have tried so far ?  

Maybe create the object without url, navigate outside successfully then renavigate inside, see if that changes anything...

[DannyJ]

Thanks again your help!

 

Yes I tried that I Navigate from the login page of this intranet page but still not works.

Other code I tried:

$oIE = _IECreate ("google.hu")

$oIE = _IENavigate($oIE,"intranet main page") ; The error apperars already here.

$oIE = _IENavigate($oIE,"intranet page I want to do things")   ;Error also apperars here.

Have you tried like this?

Local $sURL = "Workplace Webpage Url"
_IECreate($sURL, 0, 1, 0)
Sleep(2000)
Local $oIE = _IEAttach($sURL, "url")

Like Danp2 says, that's what I do. I'm behind a proxy and sometimes IE will get a redirect or something after I navigate, before I get routed to the original URL. If you don't use IE much, you might be able to attach to the first instance and just wait it out, ignoring whatever url it is using currently.

[DannyJ]

I will try it thank your and I will reply what happened....

Hello I used your code with the intranet

And I get this errors:

I am sure that I wrote the correct name of the forms and inputs.

--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Warning from function _IEAttach, $_IESTATUS_NoMatch
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementGetObjByName, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType
--> IE.au3 T3.0-2 Error from function _IEFormElementSetValue, $_IESTATUS_InvalidDataType

I guess this is a protection of the intranet ?

Any ideas?

You could try increasing the Sleep time or maybe looping until the _IEAttach succeeds. You could also try launching the website manually and then using _IEAttach to connect with this browser tab. Finally, review the help file for _IEAttach. There are multiple options for the parameter $sMode. If you can't get "url" working, then try one of the others.

[DannyJ]

Thank you very much.

But my main question is that it can be an intranet protection, that refuse connect with scripts?

[Danp2]

Doubtful... but I guess anything is possible. Is this an internally developed site? If so, check with the devs.

[DannyJ]

Thank you I will talk with the devs, but actually I have to wait before I can talk them.

 

Other idea that can it be an Internet Explorer setting?

 

(It is a mandatory that we have to use IE 11 to open intranet pages)q

[Danp2]

I previously gave you several steps you could try to troubleshoot this issue. Have you tried them all?

[Nine]

Could you post the real url you are using cause the one you gave us doesn't make sense (having spaces in).  I suspect the url might be wrongly formatted ?
