asterisk users - Feb 2005 - making ASTCC web page secure ???

How do you make the page
http://hostname/cgi-bin/astcc-admin/astcc-admin.cgi

secure ? ,
so that only the person administering the calling cards can see the page
and make changes to the calling cards, I was thinking of using  .htaccess
to restrict the access to the page by requiring a password, however since
it is a cgi script that does not seem to be posible.

Any ideas, any suggestions ?

1. use a virtual domain for it, which you do not "broadcast"
2. use a different name for "astcc-admin/"
3. limit it to known IP address from where you log in
4. use .httaccess or httpd.conf <Directory> limitation, ...
