JavaScript automation
Certain pages require custom actions after loading. Most of those can probably automated using a short JavaScript snippet that is run in the context of the page/iframe. The Script feature allows you to do just that. Have a look at
https://community.infobeamer.com/t/full-screen-browser-with-login/166
for some discussion of how all that works.
Presistent Profile
Usually the browser is started with a disposable user profile. If you restart the Pi or switch between the browser and some other info-beamer setup, all cookies and other browser settings are lost.
Most of the time this is actually beneficial as no data has to be written to the SD card and you can be sure that the browser behaves exactly the same each time.
The persistent profile option allows you to store the chrowser settings on your SD card instead. They then most likely survive Pi restarts and set cookies are persistet.
Note that you need to either restart the setup or your Pi for this setting to have any effect.
Custom certificates
If you use an internal CA for custom SSL certificates, you can add their PEM formatted certificate here. They will then be available to the browser for verification.
Note that you need to either restart the setup or your Pi for this setting to have any effect.
