Test certificate based authentication

Test authentication using a .pfx certificate

You can upload your Personal Information Exchange (.pfx) certificates on BrowserStack devices for certificate-based authentication. After installing the certificate, you can sign in to the dependent apps without entering a password.

Supported file types and OS version

Upload your file to BrowserStack

Run the following upload media cURL command to upload your .pfx file to BrowserStack servers:

Here is a sample cURL response. It returns the media_url parameter value.

BrowserStack creates a Custom_Files folder in Files app → On My iPhone → Your app's directory. You can find the file under the App directory on your device.

Set the capability in test script

To use certificate based authentication, set the customCertificate capability. Here is an example to set this capability in your config file:

Set the browserstack.uploadMedia capability to the value of the media_url parameter returned in the API response as shown in the following code snippets:

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("browserstack.uploadMedia", new String[]{"media://90c7a8h8dc82308108734e9a46c24d8f01de12881"});

var capabilities = {
	'browserstack.uploadMedia': ['media://90c7a8h8dc82308108734e9a46c24d8f01de12881']
}

DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.uploadMedia", new[] {"media://90c7a8h8dc82308108734e9a46c24d8f01de12881"});

$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("browserstack.uploadMedia", ["media://90c7a8h8dc82308108734e9a46c24d8f01de12881"]);

desired_cap = {
	'browserstack.uploadMedia': ['media://90c7a8h8dc82308108734e9a46c24d8f01de12881']
}

desired_caps = {
    'browserstack.uploadMedia': ['media://90c7a8h8dc82308108734e9a46c24d8f01de12881']
}
