Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default
- Support for lock screen notifications when connected to SEB Server. The notification is displayed with a bell symbol in front of the user name in the Running Exam monitoring view. Clicking the user name shows the error message which invoked a lock screen.
- Lock screens can be unlocked from SEB Server (without having to communicate the Quit/Unlock password to students). Note that you have to confirm all pending lock screen notifications for a user if there are several before the lock screen closes.
- Now sending computer/environment information to SEB Server (ONLY when connecting to an SEB Server instance is configured in individual settings): Local short user/account name, operating system version and device type (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), SEB version and machine name.
- Now supporting battery monitoring by SEB Server.
- Prevent reconfiguring an SEB Server exam with an exam config containing SEB Server connection settings.
- Fixed implementation of general integration approach to receive the user identifier from an LMS and finish the handshake with SEB Server (currently supported by development versions of OpenOLAT and Ans).
- Implemented workaround for receiving Moodle user identifier when using a SSO system like AAI/Shibboleth (requires a special Moodle PHP script, temporary solution until the full SEB Server integration for Moodle is implemented).
