I was wondering when the Windows version of SEB is going to have the ability to embed an SSL client certificate into the configuration?

    In the just released SEB 2.1 for Windows, SSL server certificates can be embedded into the configuration.

    We currently don't have concrete plans in supporting client certificates, but we might look into this. Could you describe your use case in detail?

    If you want to test SSL server certificates in SEB 2.1:

    https://github.com/SafeExamBrowser/seb-win/releases/tag/v2.1

    There is no documentation yet (that's why the "silent" release of SEB 2.1 is not yet announced on safeexambrowser.org), but in short: The SSL certificate currently needs to be stored in the Windows Certificate Store, then SEB finds it there and displays it in the Config Tool -> Network -> Certificates -> "Choose TLS/SSL client certificate to embed into configuration..." (I just realized that unfortunately there is a typo in the label, it should say "server certificate"). In a later version of SEB we'll include a direct import option for certificates.

    We are currently not planing to implement support for SSL client certificates in SEB.
