SEB 3.4 allows using third party applications in exams, fixes issues which might manifest mostly on macOS 14 Sonoma and implements the optional screen proctoring feature (requiring to run your own instance of SEB Server with SEB screen proctoring service, SEB never connects to any centralized proctoring or other servers, this always has to be configured individually in case you want to use it!).
New in SEB 3.4 (Build 15396):
- Support for running third party applications in macOS AAC Multi App Assessment mode (requires macOS 12 or newer).
- Optional temporary upload & download directory to prevent free access to the whole file system when using additional apps.
- Fixed a possible issue when sometimes SEB didn't open any window and had to be quit with cmd-Q. This seems to happen more often/only when running on macOS 14 Sonoma.
- Fixed querying permissions for web applications to access microphone and camera.
- Fixed issue with legacy screen shot blocking in macOS 14.
- Now injecting ConfigKey and BrowserExamKey into all iFrames, which nevertheless only works correctly on page load when using the SafeExamBrowser.security.updateKeys(function callback) function (in the callback function you can read the correct CK/BEK keys for the frame).
- No longer restarting terminated non-UI processes.
Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default
- Support for screen proctoring feature. This provides a live view of the screens of connected SEB clients and recordings with various searchable meta data. This feature requires to run your own instance of SEB Server with SEB screen proctoring service. SEB never connects to any centralized proctoring or other servers, this always has to be configured individually in case you want to use it.
- Now generic exam systems are supported with SEB Server: You can enter the URL of any web based exam/test/quiz and use SEB Server to provide SEB settings created in its web backend. You can also monitor connected SEB clients, including an automated check for the integrity of each SEB client.
