What port is that? Do these apps happen to be on the same machine? Same
network segment? Can you predict where officially-sanctioned requests
are coming from?

Short answer: bind the "private" <Connector> to 127.0.0.1 and outside
clients cannot connect. Not on localhost? You could use an SSH tunnel,
or you could use IP-based filtering to reject requests not coming from
known hosts.

I agree with Peter's response, that you ought to force your clients to
authenticate themselves to your webapp -- including "trusted" webapp
clients.
