Comment (by luckyredhot):

 Under authentication I've just meant Basic access authentication:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication described by RFC
 2617 which can prevent accessing UI without providing login/password pair.

 Of course it may be optional and also combined with other security
 techniques.

 It would be also interesting to look on Brian's prototype.
