creator sets this password.

Domain names

If you’re using a public domain name, your SMART Bridgit server is accessible to clients connecting

via the Internet. If you use a private domain name, your SMART Bridgit server is accessible only to

clients connecting from within your LAN.

Registered domain name

To access a server over the Internet, you must use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) that exists

in the records of a public DNS server. If an FQDN isn't available for your server, users can access

your server over the Internet using its IP address directly.

I

  I M P O R T A N T

Do not mix FQDNs and unqualified domain names (those not registered on a DNS server) in the

same SMART Bridgit server Global server Network (GSN).

IPv4/IPv6 addresses

During the installation process, SMART Bridgit software detects the IP addresses bound to the

servers' network interface cards. You can choose to bind SMART Bridgit software to one or all of the

computers' IP addresses, if there is more than one IP address assigned to the computer.
