FOR SECURITY REASONS THIS VERSION IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD

Always use the latest release of SEB, we are now removing older versions after a grace period.

Safe Exam Browser 2.1.1 (build version 2764) for macOS offers new features, usability enhancements and includes major security improvements (therefore it is highly recommended to update as soon as possible!):

New in SEB 2.1.1 for macOS:

  • Fully compatible with macOS 10.12 Sierra
  • Implements support for embedded TLS/SSL & CA certificates and certificate pinning (for SEB running on OS X 10.9 or later).
  • SEB is now using a private clipboard, so utilities running in the background and Universal Clipboard (on macOS 10.12 Sierra) cannot be used to copy-paste contents into or out of exams (can be disabled if using third party applications in a securely managed user account).
  • WebAudio API is enabled now.
  • Added blocking panels and windows opened by third party tools running in the background.
  • Added detection for macOS ScreenSharing.
  • Added deactivating display mirroring and a new setting option for a maximum number of displays which the user is allowed to use. This can prevent wireless displays to be used to cheat or to leak exam content.
  • Added full support for Basic/Digest and NTLM Authentication.
  • Loading seb(s):// linked settings from authenticated servers is possible now, even with indirect links (not containing the config file name with the .seb extension, like for example sebs://example.com/download.php?id=2352). Therefore a SEB exam config file can be stored for example into the same Moodle course as the quiz. The login session is remembered, therefore students don't have to login twice in SEB if you start SEB/an exam using a seb(s):// link to a config file on an authenticated server.
  • Added a new settings option for enforcing a minimal macOS version. This is helpful if your web application isn't compatible with an older WebKit version (as for example used in OS X 10.7) or if you want to make sure that embedded certificates and certificate pinning work on all exam clients, then you should enforce the minimum macOS version 10.9.

Fixed issues:

  • On a trackpad supporting Force Touch, the lookup feature (invoked by strongly pressing the trackpad while the cursor is over a word or text selection) is now also blocked when the settings option "Allow dictionary look up" is disabled.
    Fixed an issue when a media player app like iTunes could take over the screen if started with the keyboard play key (after being maximized to full screen and quit before starting SEB).
  • Fixed issues in the URL filter: Host addresses with or without a trailing slash "/" are treated as the same address, creating a filter for a path with trailing wildcard "/*" now also matches the path without trailing slash.
  • Fixed a WebKit related bug which occurred in older WebKit versions (if running on an older system than OS X 10.11) and with malformatted DOM elements.
  • Fixed various minor issues.
