Thanks for helping.
I just installed the latest version of safe exam browser 1.1 on Moodle 2. 7 and got it activated. I am supposed to enter allowed browser key at the Quiz setting.
I am reading the manual from here
http://www.safeexambrowser.org/windows/win_usermanual_en.html#operating_system
But it got me confused, is this for moodle installation or general
Where or how exactly do I generate this allowed browser key.
Thank you.
In that page, find the bullet point starting "Browser Exam Key:" which is about half way down.
www.safeexambrowser.com/download. but it gave me error
.
The requested URL /mod/quiz/www.safeexambrowser.com/download was not found on this server.
www.safeexambrowser.com/download is not a link. You need to make that http://www.safeexambrowser.com/download. (That is in the admin settings.)
Thank you Tim.
The link you gave did not work " http://www.safeexambrowser.com/download"
It gave this error "This space is managed by SourceForge.net. You have attempted to access a URL that either never existed or is no longer active. Please check the source of your link and/or contact the maintainer of the link to have them update their records."
I went to the examsafebrowser website and copied the following link which I used instead in the admin setting.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/seb/files/seb/SEB_2.0.1/SafeExamBrowserInstaller.exe/download
It is downloading quite right and I just need to make sure it works as I need it to.
Thank you.
The point is:
Thank you Tim.
Still not working with the "https://......". Not too sure why.
What I have done is, I have uploaded the SEB exe file as a resource on a course page as well as the .seb file. Users can download it onto their computer this way without the need for this link not working.
I got the SEB working now but still not secure on my moodle installation. Is there a way to disable the side blocks in exam mode.
The quiz page was loaded with the navigation and admin blocks as well. Also at the end, once the user finished the attempt it goes back to the start page.
I am still trying out various settings but the main point here is I need the navigation block disabled in the quiz mode for exam.
For the Mac setting for .seb
Can I do the settings for both Mac and Windows on just one instance of the .seb or do I have to do it separately? and generate two different keys.
Thank you for your help.
Because there are a million different Linux distros, with many different desktop front-ends, so it is almost impossible to give any reliable security like SEB does on Windows and Mac.
Thanks a lot for that, It makes a lot of sense.
How did you create a .seb file? I still can't figure that one out.
You should look into the SEB manual http://safeexambrowser.org/windows/win_usermanual_en.html
I've read the documentation several times and still can't figure out how to get the key and how to make a .seb file. Did you ever figure it out?
Yes, despite having some minor issues with the key itself.
If you are on windows you should open the "SEB config tool". That's the place where you'll build your configurations and get the key. When you have your settings ready you can save a SEB file. (save setting As)
This might be too late to ask on this thread.. But I am facing similar issues.. By any chance did u found any solution to disable the side blocks?
In Addition to this, when I use my .seb file, I am able to attempt the quiz with "admin" role but if I logged in with student login, I am not able to see the "Attempt Option". I am not able to figure it out why it is happening so.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashwini.
