I need to convert a HTML URL to pdf format using wkhtmltopdf tool on terminal.

 $ wkhtmltopdf --username 'arya_normal2' --password '1' http://localhost:8000/employee/arya_normal2-no-emp-code/certificates/53/show/   localhost.pdf

Its not getting authenticated/logined when hitting url. Its giving simple login pdf page.

I have checked with my google account , its showing login page in pdf.

Have anyone used username and password in wkhtmltopdf? Help me if I have given wrong command line arguments.

EDIT:

Modified command line Arguments :

  wkhtmltopdf --cookie 'csrftoken' 'JuQUFr9KLUdZLMAjLn3d8yakd6HOshTN' --cookie  'sessionid'  'xy3yacbe3nq1sbbtstkxfp34ah3imcmg'  --post username 'arya_normal2' --post password '1' http://localhost:8000/employee/arya_normal2-no-emp-code/certificates/all/   sample2.pdf

Now following error is coming : 

Internal Server Error: /employee/arya_normal2-no-emp-code/certificates/all/

The correct syntax for the --post parameters are --post username user_name_value --post password password_value

in your login form, try to change to id="username" instead of id="email"

username and password are both the id and the name of the input fields on the form

hope it helps!
