SSIS - Automatic Login to a website

  • Hi All,

    I havent been able to find a starting point or solution when searching the internet for my scenario which makes me think it might not be possible.

    I'm trying to build a SSIS package that will open a website and then automatically enter the UserName & Password for me? Is this possible, because manually the user will need to click on the username/password text box to enter details.

    Can the above be automated? any help would great.

    Thanks

  • Hello Tava,

    From where the username and password will be taken?

  • What is your exact scenario?

    Normally you would use a webservice to exchange data with a website.

    Hey, the exact scenario to do this manually is like this

    1. Go to a secure HTTPS site

    2. Click on the username section and enter a username

    3. Click on password and enter password

    4. click on a link to open a folder

    5. click on the file to download.

    Obviously i would like that all automated behind the scenes, with the file being controlled by a variable to get latest file.

    think of login into say G-Mail, that logic go to the site, enter details and login,

    hope that makes sense.

  • Normally this would be done through FTP or a web service, but I assume you don't have control over this.

    You can try with a HTTP connection manager:

    Downloading a file over HTTP the SSIS way

  • I'll give that a go but what is confusing is in Connection manager I can enter in a Username/Password which is what i want, but the site doesnt prompt me i need to click on the box. Would i need to enter the connection string as a pre-set login with details already captured?

  • No idea, haven't tried this myself before.
