[Seaside] Seaside 2.07 and config passwords

I've just started playing with Seaside again, having left off back when 
it was at version 0.94.

Back in the 0.94 days, the 'config' app could be password protected, via 
IAAuthenticatedSession>>authenticateUser:password:

How do you password protect the current 'config' app?  It's a little 
dangerous to present a working Smalltalk Browser to the world from 
within their web browser (i.e., the 'classes' app), and even if you 
remove it, they can add it back in if they can access the 'config' app.

So, what's the easy way to lock this thing down for presentation to the 
world?

Furthermore, I personally prefer the default installation to be a 
"locked-down" installation.  Otherwise somebody could install this thing 
in their Squeak image, put their image on the web without checking 
Seaside security, and from there they are toast.
