How to Handle Windows Security Pop-up

Hi Team,

I am trying to automate SAP Transaction using Pega Robotics. The SAP System under this Implementation uses SSO certificate Authentication. Hence, when we log in to the application for the first time in a day, we get the Windows Security pop-up, asking for credential.

I have tried using HookChildProcess to handle this, but I am unable to interrogate this pop-up. Kindly let me know if there is any method to handle this.

Thanks in Advance.

Have you tried using OCR method? If not you can follow the below link to see more about how to use OCR feature

https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/documents/creating-automations-using-screen-ocr-feature

You must interrogate the outermost window of the application. Once you have that, then you can call the various OCR methods on that object (along with SendKeys) to accomplish your tasks.
