how to authenticate web interface listning in mongodb?

I am running mongodb on port 27017. So, I can see web interface listening on http://myipaddress:28017 But it is open. How can I authenticate it? So, only an authenticate person can view this page?

If security is configured for a mongod instance, authentication is required for a client to access the http interface from another machine (http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Http+Interface). You can not use authentication for clients that access from the same machine.

If you want to turn off the http interface start mongo using the --nohttpinterface option
