Re^5: How to handle a browser window that opens up during the execution of some external program commands

OK. Your Powershell code can likely handle the authentication.

Link: PowerShell Documentation for System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser

Look here in your PS code:

$browser = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser

While I am no PS guru, I AM an automation guru :) your script is creating a PS object based on the System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser Class. Start there, and find out how to interact with the login elements on the page. You should be able to enter text into any user/passwd fields, and click a submit button, using the mentioned class and its relatives. This should be trivial considering you have already created the object you will likely need.

That should eliminate the need to manually pause and type in credentials.

Cheers.
