The CF Administrator is just a web application. You can control or prevent access to web applications through configuring your web server. Typically, I do something like this: 1. Install CF using the built-in web server (listening on TCP/8300 or TCP/8500). 2. After installation, configure an external web server to use CF. 3. Configure the external web server to disallow access to /CFIDE/administrator. 4. Block external access to the built-in web server. Alternatively, I might use a separate virtual web server to host the CF Administrator, if for some reason I don't want to use the built-in web server.
