I'm attempting to setup the latest Kiosk version 4.6. I'm having 2 issues I can't quite get around. Everything else has worked really well.
1. The Intranet site I'm using for the main purpose of this site downloads a TIFF image after a search. There appears to be some security setting that isn't allowing that TIFF image to be opened. That and I'm not sure there is a TIFF viewer installed. I saved a copy of a sample TIFF file on one of my webservers. I pointed to the path of the TIFF file and it won't open. So I need to figure out how to get the browser to open TIFF files.
2. I don't care whether I'm running FF or Chrome. But I need to get an auto login function to said website to work. I've turned off the private mode like I read in the manual. When logging into the website I am prompted to save a password. But when I logout and back in again, it doesn't appear to let me auto login. Not sure what I'm missing.

I was able to figure out how to get a TIFF view installed. Using Chrome on my PC, the plugin does work. But on the Kiosk, I get "Is Blocked" error.
The address bar shows data:image/png;base64, (followed by long string)
I added in the Whitelist a "data:image" section. But that didn't fix it. If I could just get past this point, I think I'm done!
BTW, this is what I added in for a Chrome extension:
"ExtensionInstallWhitelist": [ "fciggfkkblggmebjbekbebbcffeacknj",],
"ExtensionInstallForcelist": [ "fciggfkkblggmebjbekbebbcffeacknj;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",],

Oh, and the next time I changed private mode off and password enabled, it worked. So I got past that point.

Success! I could have sworn I tried that.
Last question. Is there a way to have it not remember the form data that is filled? Or at least clear it out when the session restarts? Either would do.
Thanks.

If you want to remember just the website login credentials and nothing else then you'll need a customized build for this:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/builds.html
Pros:
- private mode can be enabled
- full persistence is not needed
Cons:
- login credentials are hardcoded in the ISO
This would be recommended setup for public kiosks.

OK, thanks. I'll check with my manager and see if that is an issue or not to warrant a custom build.
I appreciate the help. We'll probably give your product a test. If all goes well, I'm sure we'll be paying for some copies.
