title: Selenium 2 Webdriver and IE 9 Security Certificate
body: <p>I have some Selenium 2 Webdriver test cases for Firefox and Internet Explorer 9. When I access https URLs on IE9 (Windows 7 64bit) I get "There is a problem with this website's security certificate". At this point the test hangs and eventually fails. I tried:
  <li>Getting Selenium to click on the "Continue to this website (not recommended)." link. This can't be done as this error page is not your usual page. Same with JavaScript - it doesn't execute.</li>
  <li>I tried adding the registry key<br> <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954312" rel="noreferrer">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ERROR_PAGE_BYPASS_ZONE_CHECK_FOR_HTTPS_KB954312</a><br> that prevents the certificate-error-page from displaying - didn't work. Probably because I'm on Windows 7 with IE9.</li>
  <li>Following <a href="http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.selenium.devel/4874" rel="noreferrer">this</a> advice I tried using browsermob proxy, but there's very little documentation out there and I couldn't work it out.</li></p>
  
  <p>Finally, I don't have admin access to my PC - e.g. no access to group policies. Selenium 2 Webdriver works fine on Firefox. I have all security zones enabled in IE Internet Options and if I run the tests on other URLs (http) then there is no problem.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone got a solution to this problem? Does anyone now hot to use browsermob proxy (or any other proxy) effectively to overcome this issue?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Damo</p>
