SECUREREMOTEACCESS (System Variable)

Controls whether ObjectARX programs are restricted from accessing internet locations or remote servers.

Type:	Switch
Saved in:	Registry
Initial value:	1

To help protect against malicious code in an ObjectARX network API call, setting the value to 1 blocks the following operations:

• Copying remote files to the local computer using AcadHostApplicationServices::getRemoteFile().
• Uploading files to a remote location using AcadHostApplicationServices::putRemoteFile().

Value	Description
0	Allows access with ObjectARX to any location, including the internet or a remote server. This option maintains legacy behavior.
1	Blocks access with ObjectARX to the internet or a remote server. Loads files only if they are local. This setting was expanded in the 2020.1 product update and might interfere with some applications.

Leaving SECUREREMOTEACCESS turned on reduces the possibility of an application or malware loading or copying a file to or from your local computer using ObjectARX.
