title: Using Selenium Webdriver with Windows Authentication (in Chrome) C#/ASP.Net
body: <p>Google dropped support for passing windows credentials via URL and it broke a lot of automation for me. (username:password@www.url.com)</p>

  <p>I found there is a solution using AutoItX dll which I added and it works fine when running locally, but when deployed to web server it does not send key strokes.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have.</p>
  
  <pre><code>AutoItX.WinWaitActive(authenticateurl + " - Google Chrome", "", 10);
  AutoItX.WinActivate(authenticateurl + " - Google Chrome");
  AutoItX.Send(AdminUsername + "{TAB}");
  AutoItX.Send(AdminUserpass + "{ENTER}");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any idea why AutoItX would not work when deployed? Is there a better alternative to pass windows credentials in the Chrome Browser? Thank you in Advance!</p>
