How does Selenium Webdriver handle SSL certificate in Chrome?

 For the Chrome browser, one can handle the SSL certificates using ChromeOptions class provided by Selenium WebDriver. It is a class that we can use to set properties for the Chrome browser. Let us now see what additions we will make to the existing code, and then we will understand the same

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;

public class SSLHandling {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		//Create instance of ChromeOptions Class
		ChromeOptions handlingSSL = new ChromeOptions();

		//Using the accept insecure cert method with true as parameter to accept the untrusted certificate
		handlingSSL.setAcceptInsecureCerts(true);
				
		//Creating instance of Chrome driver by passing reference of ChromeOptions object
		WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(handlingSSL);
		
		//Launching the URL
		driver.get("https://expired.badssl.com/");
		System.out.println("The page title is : " +driver.getTitle());
		driver.quit();
	}
