Hello Everyone!

I am looking for a way to set up a Macbook Air (running Yosemite) in a "kiosk" mode where the user interface is limited to only a web browser.

By way of background, I run the March of Dimes campaign for my company and I am looking for an easy way to get people in my office to sign up for the annual charity walk. By setting up a computer in our health club (appropriately physically locked down of course) I want to make it easy for people to access the MOD web site to join the team.

Has anyone successfully accomplished this? I've found some old postings on the internet that sort of hacked their way around to an answer but I was hoping this is a path that's been trod before.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply.

I found both of those solutions when I Googled, but I was hoping there was something a little more robust out there. (The latter solution only allows the computer to go to an http address, and I need it to use https. The former solution won't limit the user to only a browser.)

Thanks again and I'll keep looking!
