Automate SSO authentication in Chrome - google-chrome

Question

I'm writing a Selenium script in Java. I've a website say originalwebsite.com, and when enter this and hit a go, it will go to authenticationwebsite.com, authenticate the credentials and auto redirect to originalwebsite.com.
I'm sorry that I can't reveal the origianlwebsite and authenticationwebsite URLs sine these are our Organisation's.
When I enter it directly in any Chrome browser, this is done automatically, since the authenticationwebsite credentials are stored.
But when i do it through Selenium, instead of redirecting to originalwebsite.com, the process stops at authenticationwebsite.com and asks for credentials. Going through some forums in SO, I've tried the below code.
In Chrome
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");
String user = System.getProperty("user.name");
// System.out.println(user);
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments(
"user-data-dir=C:/Users/" + user.toUpperCase() + "/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default");
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
WebDriver cd = new ChromeDriver(options);
cd.get("https://originalwebsite.com");
When I run this i get the below Exception.
Starting ChromeDriver 2.19.346078 (6f1f0cde889532d48ce8242342d0b84f94b114a1) on port 9702

But in Firefox, this is working fine. And the code that i've used is as below.
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = profile.getProfile("default");
WebDriver cd = new FirefoxDriver(ffprofile);
cd.get("https://originalwebsite.com");
Please let me know how can i do it in Chrome, since most of the users here use chrome as their default browser.
Thanks

Seems like selenium is failing to pick up chrome browser where it is installed.
