How can I detect Windows Authentication Prompts with Selenium web driver?

Question

I have a C# script to test some SharePoint sites.

We are getting prompts to reauthenticate on some pages when using IE. (We suspect it is something to do with our F5 load balancer)

I want to be able to create a script that can visit pages and then let me know if the page had a Windows Authentication Prompt? At the moment I don't need to login through the prompt just detect it.

You have to wait and catch the alert.

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("url_where_your_WAP_is");
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0));

IAlert simpleAlert = wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.AlertIsPresent());
simpleAlert.SetAuthenticationCredentials("user", "password");

This has worked well so far just added simpleAlert.Accept(); for when I needed it to log in. – user802599 Oct 26 '16 at 05:35
This will not work. Navigate().GoToUrl() blocks, waiting until the credentials have been entered, so the following code will never execute. You will get a timeout exception. – Elmue May 16 '17 at 20:24
I also get the timeout. Is there a solution? – Kevin Burton Jul 16 '18 at 12:03
