I am trying to login to the site that has windows authentication enabled using URL "http://userName:pass@siteName.com" in selenium web driver. It is working fine in normal cases, however it doesn't work when the password contains a special character '@'.

I also tried to handle it using alert with following code, but it is also not working:

UserAndPassword up = new UserAndPassword("userName", "pass");
driver.switchTo().alert.authenticateUsing(up);

Please suggest how to escape this special character.

I am running my test cases in chrome browser.

you can use `cntlm` instead of doing the authentication in address, or is that a must? – Edwin Jan 18 '18 at 14:55
I am not aware of cntlm. I am scripting using JAVA. – Kunal Khatri Jan 18 '18 at 14:59
