You could add basic authication to apache folder using .htaccess If you munin locate at /var/www/munin , you can do like this edit file /var/www/munin/.htaccess , put the follow content there

   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Members Only"
   AuthUserFile /var/www/munin/.htpasswd
   <limit GET PUT POST>
   require valid-user
   </limit>

run command htpasswd /var/www/munin/.htpasswd admin to set password for admin user
