Install Safe Exam Browser

1. The Safe Exam Browser download above installs two programs: the browser itself and a configuration utility called SEB Configuration Tool. If necessary, use the Windows search function to launch the configuration utility.

2. An example file for the configuration is available in the Remindo administration environment. This can be found under Administration > Settings, Safe Exam Browser tab. A .SEB file is placed on the left side of the page. Click here to save this file to your computer.

3. The .SEB file can then be opened with SEB Configuration Tool. Click on File > Open settings... in the top left of the program and locate the downloaded .SEB file. If the file has been opened correctly, the settings will be automatically changed for use with Remindo.

4. It is important that the Remindo environment to be linked is indicated in SEB Configuration Tool. The image above shows an example with a link to a sample environment. Replace the web address at 'Start URL' for the desired own environment.

Browser Exam Keys

The Browser Exam Key is required to establish the link between Remindo and the Safe Exam Browser. With this security, only authorized candidates who have the correct browser version can log in.

Remindo can check whether the Safe Exam Browser is used in combination with a valid .SEB configuration file. If multiple versions of the SEB are allowed, a Browser Exam Key must be provided for each version. This can be done in the administration environment at Administration > Settings > tab Safe Exam Browser. Click on 'Add New Browser Exam Key' at the bottom of the page.

The image above shows what can be set when entering a new key. The Browser Exam Key comes from the configuration program. Follow the steps below to obtain the key:

1. Open the SEB Configuration Tool program and check that all settings are correct.
2. Go to File > Save settings as... and save the .SEB file to the desired location.
3. After saving the file, navigate in SEB Configuration Tool to tab
4. Copy the Browser Exam Key and paste it into the field in Remindo.
