Access controls to the profiled information

Is there a way to control access for connecting to a profiled application?

I'm considering adding YourKit Java Profiler to some instances of our production webapps in preperation for an expected load surge at the start of the next semester. I'm not fond of the idea of production webapps (dealing with sensitive information) having a wide open port someone could connect to. A simple command line switch with a password would be sufficent.

Please use firewall software to control access to ports. Anyway you need to have some open port (over SSH?) to control remote application even via command line utility. Command line tool is just a wrapper around another communication protocols. BTW, you can write your own command line tool using public profiler API.
