Hello,

In case of the Baculum, access to service is realized by web server.
Access will be as secure as secure is your web server authentication.

On web server level you can configure HTTPS access, non-standard web
server port, IP addresses restrictions and other functions that
provides a web server.

Summing up, authentication is pushed to web server.

About your phpMyAdmin - in case of this application there is also
possible to switch authentication to web server level.

Best regards.
Marcin
