By default, if an exam contains a link to an external web domain, students can view the initial page but all links and navigation from that page are blocked.

With the LockDown Browser Dashboard->"exam"->Modify Settings->Advanced Settings->"Allow access to specific external web domains beta" option, the setting allows a student to access any page or link within the specified domain. This is useful, for example, to provide access to an e-book during an exam.

To add a site such as a publisher's e-book reader, the instructor enters the "domain" or "address" without the "http:" or "https:" protocol of all the locations including any authentication pages. Multiple domains can be entered, separated by commas.

As an example, to access Amazon's Kindle Cloud Reader, the instructor would enter "read.amazon.com" along with "www.amazon.com/ap/signin" separated by commas into the "Allow access to specific external web domains beta" listing.

If students encounter a "Linked is Blocked ?" while accessing an external domain, it indicates additional domains may need to be added to the external web domains list. Clicking on the "?" will bring up a brief pop-up window showing the URL for the blocked link. The domain listed in the window can be added to the "Allow access to specific external web domains beta" listing.

Please note, requires LockDown Browser 2.0.2.04 for Windows or newer.
