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 MP ORTA 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.
