Unable to perfrom http basic auth using Browsermob proxy

Question

I am trying to use Browsermob proxy for achieving the basic http authentication across different browsers. But facing issues, tried to search for a solution on Browsermob's GITHUB page but didn't find much help there.

Here is my code for the achieving the auth:

    // start the proxy
    BrowserMobProxy proxy = new BrowserMobProxyServer();
    proxy.start();

    proxy.autoAuthorization("", "username", "password", AuthType.BASIC);

    // get the Selenium proxy object
    Proxy seleniumProxy = ClientUtil.createSeleniumProxy(proxy);

    // configure it as a desired capability
    DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
    capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, seleniumProxy);

If I run above code on chrome then it still asks for auth. And nothing appears in the error console.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + config.getChromeDriverPath());
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

If I run above code on firefox then it gives error

Your connection is not secure.

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", System.getProperty("user.dir") + config.getChromeDriverPath());
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

And in the console following error appears:

What is not correct?

proxy.autoAuthorization("", "guest", "guest", AuthType.BASIC);

this feature does not work.

Use this instead:

String encodedCreadentials = "Basic " + (Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString("login:password".getBytes()));
proxy.addHeader("Authorization", encodedCreadentials);
