Secure Mode

[Magnetoram]

Hi,
We are running v3 on our patrons PC's and I would like to lock them down. I would our patrons to be able to search our catalog only. I have made changes to the .ini file that I could find before registering on this forum. Is there an .ini file pre-configured to be the most secure with no patron capabilities other than searching the catalog? I would like to set the inactivity timer to 5 minutes and only have it reset the PWB not restart the PC.
Thank you!

There is not a specific set of settings because every installation is different.

Secure Mode will prevent access to the Windows Desktop, and setting an override will get your out of PWB.

[Browser]
SecureMode=True

[Overrides]
ExitBrowser=GetMeOutOfThis

Limit the patron to a single site:

More information on the filters:

Give the next patron a fresh browser by clearing the cache, and restarting PWB.

[Security]
RestartOnClose=True
ClearCacheOnClose=True

[Inactivity]
InactivityTimer=True
InactivitySeconds=300
InactivityMessageFile=Inactivity.html
InactivityAction=Exit

Here is a pretty good post that details many aspects of this:

Thank you Scott! I made the changes in your post and will test it on an OPAC. I post my results.

Thanks again!

I'm using the cef version 3.05. I'm on a Windows 10 computer. I have set SecureMode=True and I'm also using Kioskmode=True. But it is allowing me to use Ctrl/Alt/Del to access the task manager and close out PWB. I would really like that to be disabled.

Thanks for the feedback. I will complete what I had started.

For the Secure Attention Sequence (Ctrl-Alt-Del) see: Disabling Windows Security (Ctrl-Alt-Del)... in the following post.

Ok, thanks for that post, but why doesn't secure mode work? It says that it suppresses Ctrl-Alt-Del - this came from the pwbV3.pdf in the PWBv3cef download. Am I not understanding it correctly?

SecureMode=False
○ Starts browser in secure mode.
■ Opens in alternate Windows Desktop.
■ No Start button, Desktop, or Task Tray available.
■ Suppresses Ctrl-Alt-Del.

The wording the read me is a bit misleading and we will change it. The secure mode can suppress Task Manager available via the Windows Secure Attention Sequence (Ctrl-Alt-Del) menu.

By Microsoft design applications are not able to manipulate or interrupt the Secure Attention Sequence for security reasons.
