Batch command to open url and fulfill username and password

I'm currently opening a local url from batch command (.bat file) like this:

@echo off

start /d "C:Program FilesInternet Explorer" IEXPLORE.EXE http://some_local_address:88

This is working fine.

The first thing that this site does is to ask for a username and password in a popup window.
Is it possible to pass this information (or at least username) from the .bat file itself, so it is auto-completed in the emerging login window?

(Note that I'm aware you can complete username and password the first time, and "remember credentials", I just want to know if this is possible to pass from command line and how).

The only way I know of is to pass it through the URL (e.g. user:password@site.com) if the site uses basic auth, but this is disabled by default in newer versions of IE/edge. Beyond that I think you're in saved password / add-on territory

If you can get your batch file to send keystrokes I don't see why not. Depending on how the page is setup I would imagine you could open the page, send Tab until the cursor is in the username box, send the username, send Tab again, send the password, send Enter.

You may be able to use curl.exe, which allows certain fields to be set. Otherwise, there is the Selenium add-on for Firefox, but you won't easily be able to control this from a batch file.

I don't think this can be done using a batch file as batch has its own limitations, instead you can you the below VB script.

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

IE.navigate "http://TheWebsite"

IE.Visible = True`



While IE.Busy

    WScript.Sleep 50

Wend



Set ipf = IE.document.all.username

ipf.Value = "Username" 

Set ipf = IE.document.all.password

ipf.Value = "Password" 

Set ipf = IE.document.all.Submit

ipf.Click 

IE.Quit

Update Website name, uname and passwd and then save this as AutoWebsite.vbs
