SEB 3.3 improves security, allows to export SEB settings as configuration links or QR codes and contains issue fixes.

When using the optional SEB Server, the App Signature Key functionality allows automated application integrity checks similar to the manual use of the Browser Exam Key. Additionally, the new server-driven Browser Exam Key can be used for improved SEB Server integration with LMS/assessment systems like Moodle.

New in SEB 3.3b1:

  • Added separate allow downloads/uploads settings (allowDownloads = default true, allowUploads = default true), using AND with existing, but deprecated setting allowDownUploads.
  • Text search now also works in PDFs embedded in webpage (requires using the modern WebView and macOS 11 or newer).
  • Accessibility improvement: Menu to select open webpages (on SEB icon in the SEB Dock) can now be opened using VoiceOver with the VO-Shift-M shortcut (in addition to right click).
  • Now using ConfigKey to identify stored running exam session for lock screen. This should avoid unnecessary lock screens if a new exam is opened, which is using the same Start URL as an older locked exam.
  • Support exporting SEB settings as configuration links and QR codes containing full SEB configuration.
  • New option Remove Default Values reduces the size of an SEB configuration (automatically used for config link and QR code).
  • Added option to export SEB settings as an unencrypted plist file for the MDM Managed Configuration feature (currently supported by iOS SEB clients).
  • Unencrypted SEB configuration files for starting exams are now saved compressed with gzip. If you need to save unencrypted config files, use the MDM Managed Configuration format and change the file extension to .seb.
  • Added new module to verify application integrity.
  • Fixed a possible concurrency crash when removing process list element.

Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default

  • App Signature Key functionality, which allows automated application integrity checks similar to the manual use of the Browser Exam Key (no copy-paste of hash string necessary).
  • New server-driven Browser Exam Key which can be used for improved SEB Server integration with LMS/assessment systems like Moodle.
