phpmyadmin

i can access phpmyadmin by typing in the url: h t t p : / / 234.231.123.123/phpmyadmin.

i wonder where to configure phpmyadmin to only accept h t t p : / / localhost/phpmyadmin so i could use ssh tunneling to connect to it.

cause i dont want other to get to the phpmyadmin page so they could brute force the password.
