SEB 2.3.1 is a maintenance update, which disables Automatic Assessment Configuration (AAC) macOS Assessment Mode in default settings, as it has a major issue when used on macOS 11 Big Sur. We recommend to not use AAC until this issue will be fixed in an upcoming macOS Big Sur update.

When running on macOS 11 Big Sur, DNS lookup fails while AAC is enabled. This is why SEB fails to load URLs with a different domain than the Start URL the first time it tries to connect to that URL. Usually it would connect to the according domain after quitting and starting SEB again (as the DNS lookup result is cached). The domain of the Start URL should always be loadable, as SEB reaches out to the Start URL before activating AAC.

  • Changed default setting for AAC to disabled, using a new settings key enableMacOSAAC.

  • Block screen capture also when AAC is used (as AAC currently doesn't prevent screen capture reliably).

  • Fixed URL String from pasteboard to copy to Preferences/General/Start URL is not saved when SEB is started in AAC.

  • Clicking the close button of the running prohibited processes list window now quits SEB/the exam session.

  • Fixed force "Quit All Processes" alert was sometimes displayed behind process list window.

  • Fixed security issue with "Revert to Client Settings" and "Configure Client" in Preferences: Don't ask for client settings admin password if it is empty (not set).
