   • Configure BitDefender to allow this type of connections:

     edit the /opt/BitDefender/etc/bdradmind.conf (or /usr/local/bitdefender/etc/bdradmind.conf for FreeBSD) file and change the last two lines, from:

     allow=127.0.0.1

     bind=127.0.0.1

     to:

     allow=0.0.0.0

     bind=0.0.0.0

   • Restart the Remote Admin service (from /opt/BitDefender/bin): # ./bdradmin restart
     
   • Now you can go to the computer you want to connect from, open a browser and type http://[your_server_IP]:8139 and enter the password defined for the bitdefender user.
