Hello All,

I am new to auto It  and coding. Have only tried few automated logging for different websites.  The login pages of the websites which I have worked on were having form name with input type as text and it seems straight forward to automate their login using "_IEFormElementSetValue".

I have got a url, it does not have any form in the source page. On further analyzing I found that It does call some login page separately as below.

function showLogin(arg) {
  Global.pollingDialogDoc = null;
  var fresh = jQuery.isValidString(arg) && "fresh" == arg ? !0 : !1, appFrame = $("#appFrame");
  if ($("#modalFrame").show(), $("iframe").hide(), fresh || !appFrame.attr('src').match("html/login.html")) appFrame.attr('src', baseURL + 'html/login.html'), 
  appFrame.on('load', function() {
    setTimeout(function() {
      $("#modalFrame").hide(), appFrame.show();
    }, 1);
  }); else try {
    window.frames.appFrame.updatePageFromIndex();
  } catch (e) {}
}

I can simply use "send" and "mouse click" Method to automate the login but that doesn't seems very reliable. Is there any separate way to fill the user ID and password to the respective fields by having reference by frames or something. 

Appreciate if any one can point me to correct document or help in any way...!

Hello ,

Appreciate your response, I have another website which does use JSP in background. Following is the source code for the same. Can any one help me in pointing to the correct direction for automating the login for this website. 
================================================

<!doctype html><html class="no-js" ng-app="rainierApp"><head><meta charset="utf-8"><title>{{ 'brand-company' | translate }} {{ 'brand-rainier' | translate }}</title><link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico?v=1"><meta name="description" content="{{ 'brand-company' | translate }} {{ 'brand-rainier' | translate }}"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no"><!-- Place favicon.ico and apple-touch-icon.png in the root directory --><link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/vendor.23c8625b.css"/><link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.b362bd11.css"/></head><body><!--[if lt IE 7]>

Hello Danp2,

The URL won't be accessible. I have used inspect in google chrome and was able to get the below code for the login page.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<form ng-submit="model.submitAction()" class="ng-pristine ng-valid">

<div class="ds-login-text-inputs"><div class="ds-label-input-container"><label class="ds-label ng-binding">Username</label><input ng-model="model.username" class="ds-text-input ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-empty" placeholder="Enter text" type="text" autofocus=""></div>

<div class="ds-label-input-container"><label class="ds-label ng-binding">Password</label><input ng-model="model.password" class="ds-text-input ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-empty" placeholder="Enter text" type="password"></div></div>

<div class="ds-login-submit-buttons"><div class="ds-login-remember-me"><!-- No remember me checkbox --></div><button ng-disabled="isEmptyInput(model.username) || isEmptyInput(model.password)" class="ds-button-primary ng-binding" type="submit" role="button" disabled="disabled">Log in</button></div>

</form>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am successfully able to put the credentials in the username and password field but the login button won't get enabled unless there is no keyboard simulation in both the fields. Not sure how to proceed further, please find my code below.

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://serverhost/" )
Local $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)

Local $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 0)
Local $oQuery1 = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 1)

_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "username")  ; puts value to username
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery1, "VerySecuredpassword") ; Puts values to password

Appreciate your help on the same.

Hi,

Thank you very much for the help, I am looking into it but was just wondering if there is any other way by which I can achieve this ?

I am trying the following code .

Local $oIE = _IECreate("URL" )
Local $hWnd = _IEPropertyGet($oIE, "hwnd")

Local $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)

Local $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 0)
Local $oQuery1 = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 1)

_IEAction($oQuery, "focus")
ControlSend($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "username") ; It is working fine.
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery1, "Verystrongpassword")

Sleep(5000)
_IEAction($oQuery1, "focus")
ControlSend($hWnd, "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]", "{space} {BS}") ; to stimulate the keypad action but it is not working as expected :(

Send ("{ENTER}")

It actually opens in private Internet explorer, not sure how and behaves strangely, sometimes the password is not completely sent.

Hello Danp2,

Hope you are doing good..! I  have tried  many different codes found in this forum and at last the following code runs fine and was able to login.

1 Out of 5 times I have seen that the url throw an "invalid user and password error", I am not sure on the root cause yet. I wanted to know your thoughts on the same.

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("URL" )

Local $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection($oIE, 0)

Local $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 0)
Local $oQuery1 = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 1)
Local $oQuery2 = _IEFormElementGetCollection($oForm, 2)

_IEAction($oQuery, "focus")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery, "username")
Local $oEvt = $oIE.document.createEvent("HTMLEvents")
$oEvt.initEvent("change", True, False)
$oQuery.dispatchEvent($oEvt)

_IEAction($oQuery1, "focus")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oQuery1, "VeryStrongPassword")
Local $oEvt = $oIE.document.createEvent("HTMLEvents")
$oEvt.initEvent("change", True, False)
$oQuery1.dispatchEvent($oEvt)

; The change event above was able to enable the submit button and I am using IEAction to simulate click.

_IEAction($oQuery2, "focus")
_IEAction($oQuery2, "Click")

In addition to that, I want to learn more on events available in autoit. I would really appreciate if you can point me to any available URL where I can learn this in detail.

There's no error checking in your code, so that would be a good place to start.

Not curious enough to use Google? 🙄

HI Danp2

Apologies, I might be asking for very trivial help as I am very new to programming, started 3 months back only :( .
Also, I tried from my end and still trying to find the details of events in AUTOIT.
