Lock SL Browser down?

[IvyTechEngineer]

Is there a way to lock the SL Browser down in SL? I was just at a K-12 site that used the browsers and some one had changed many of the URLs to inappropriate sites.

You can configure Media on a Prim to only allow access to specified URL patterns.

I assume you already know how to edit the object select the face on the object that has media. Then carry out the following steps:-

1. On Texture Tab, from drop down pictured choose Media

2. On buttons that appear below, select Choose...

3. Under Media Settings, select Security. Check Only allow access to specified URL patterns

Add a URL pattern for each site you want the browser to be able to visit. You can use wildcards.

See this page for more info on patterns.

 

Hope it helps!

Thanks, the Sl Browser was in a region that could have K-12 students and staff present. I will pass the info onto the region owner... thanks again.
