I was struggling with the client certificate with Puppeteer. Can you use client certificate for authentication? Yes, you can , but you have to do 3 things:
– Run the puppeteer in normal mode (headlesss=false)
– Import the certificate to your profile , you need a certificate file in pfx format , this is my script to import
echo "Importing certificate" mkdir -p $HOME/.pki/nssdb certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -N --empty-password certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -L pk12util -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -i /config/cert.pfx -W ""
– Update the policy:
/etc/chromium/policies/managed/policy.json ( if you using Chrome, then it should be /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/policy.json)
Here is my sample file:
{ "AutoSelectCertificateForUrls": ["{\"pattern\":\"*\",\"filter\":{}}"] , "AuthServerWhitelist": "*.org", "AuthNegotiateDelegateWhitelist": "*.org" , "AuthSchemes":"basic,digest,ntlm,negotiate", "DisableAuthNegotiateCnameLookup": true }
