Moodle plugins directory: Safe Exam Browser quiz access rule

avi is basically asking the same thing as David, I think. (And I never answered David, sorry.)

Just to be clear, the documentation is here: https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-quizaccess_safeexambrowser/blob/master/internaldoc/functionality.md and you need to understand what 'Allowed browser keys' are.

David, if you want to relax the security to allow any version of SEB (or anyone who can customise their browser to pretend to be SEB) then you need to change
public static function check_access in mod/quiz/accessrule/safeexambrowser/rule.php

Change the line return self::check_keys(...); to just return true;

Hi Tim
first, thanks so much for the plugin, SEB is a great tool. I have a Moodle 2.7 and install the SEB plugin but in the configuration of "Keys allowed" i dont find that key, you say that it's appear in one screen in SEB's installation of version 2.X, i install SEb 2.X but i don't find it and how to configurate the SEB for work with Moodle, i read the manual installation and configuration but dont understand
Can you help me for this? If you helpme I contribute with a spanish traslate for this plugin (Im from Mexico)

The key come from this screen when you configure SEB: http://www.safeexambrowser.org/macosx/mac_usermanual_v2_en.html#ExamPane (That is the Mac UI, but it is similar for Windows.)

The exact value of the key depends on the configuration you have set. This is so that Moodle can verify that your students are using the version of SEB you created, not a version they created that lets them use Google.

The code of this plugin is perfectly fine in Moodle 3.0. But, unfortunately, while I was testing this, I found (and fixed) MDL-52523, which is a regression in Moodle 3.0 relating to backup and restore of all types of subplugins. So, probably best to wait until that is fixed.

This plugin is compatible with Moodle 3.0, but you must be using Moodle 3.0.2 or later, otherwise you will hit problems with backup and restore.

Hello Dear friends ,



how could i upload many students at once and make exam for 40 students as example and all result for their exam will save with result where ( every student have different result ). Thank you

Hi,

I want to use SafeExamBrowser. In the Quiz I can check "use Safe Exam Browser". So far, so good.

But I read in the documentation:

Use the Browser Exam Key authentication in Moodle for the connecting SEB version and its settings by installing the quiz access rule plugin in Moodle. In addition you will have to copy the Browser Exam Key hash code string into the quiz settings (Administration / Quiz administration / Edit settings / Extra restrictions on attempts / Allowed browser keys).

I can not find the field where I can put in the hash code string.
What's going wrong?

Regards, Kees

Have you installed this plugin, and are you using it?

There was an old SEB integration built into Moodle, available under Admin -> Development -> Experimental -> Enable Safe Exam Browser integration. That is something different, and should no longer be used.

Hi Tim,
Thanks!
It works!

How to uninstall safe exam browser?

Hi Tim, I was using Admin -> Development -> Experimental -> Enable Safe Exam Browser but then discovered this plugin, which I installed, and then unchecked Admin -> Development -> Experimental -> Enable Safe Exam Browser. However, in Administration / Quiz administration / Edit settings / Extra restrictions on attempts, there is no longer the option to use Safe Exam Browser, just a javascript popup. Do I need to reactivate Admin -> Development -> Experimental -> Enable Safe Exam Browser? Thanks.

You don't need that experimental setting. You do need this plugin.

I have the plugin installed but still can't see the option to use Safe Exam Browser in Administration / Quiz administration / Edit settings / Extra restrictions on attempts I'll post more in the Quiz thread for Moodle in English. Easier to post screenshots there.

I have enabled https for logins in moodle, the rest of the site is http. This prevents the user from logging in with Safe Exam Browser though, as the configuration setting url is 'http'.
Is there a workaround for this?

Either: change the URL in the SEB configuration to match the URL of your site, or set up a redirect on your server from the http address to the https address.
