Python-selenium script for automated web-login does not work
#1
Objective is to login into a website, pass some search parameters and open top 3 results.
However, I am stuck at the first step. Using Python 3.7 on Spyder (Anaconda). Individual commands work fine on console.

However, after the last command, browser throws following error: "Sorry, we could not authenticate you. Try again."

The Log In page however is a redirection from the URL below, to "https://accounts.sap.com/saml2/idp/sso/accounts.sap.com".
However, since the elements are located correctly and values passed, I suppose that isn't an issue. Clueless, why does the browser not accept login. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Browser response is consistent in both Chrome and Firefox.

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

url="https://launchpad.support.sap.com"

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get(url)

time.sleep(10)
loginElem=browser.find_element_by_id("j_username")
pwdElem=browser.find_element_by_id("j_password")
submitElem=browser.find_element_by_id("logOnFormSubmit")

loginElem.clear()
loginElem.send_keys=('UserIDXXXXXX')
pwdElem.clear()
pwdElem.send_keys=('PasswordXXXXX')
submitElem.click()
