errrr ... why aren't you switching the entire Cobalt Admin GUI over to HTTPS? 
That would serve the same purpose and would secure it for all your clients.

All you need to do is to generate a self signed SSL certificate for your 
primary site. Once that's done and once the admin server detects the presence 
of this particular SSL certificate, it'll use it to switch the entire admin 
interface over to HTTPS.
