The Navigator is a clientside only application, so authentication is definitely possible without actual code changes to the application. If you use the compile for use elsewhere instructions you will essentially end up with a series of static files (HTML, CSS and Javascript) to serve to the client. You can then host these using your webserver of choice, and use built in authentication/authorization features to restrict access to those files. For example, here's instructions for how to do so in apache.

Built-in authentication and authorization is a feature we may eventually add so I will keep this issue open, but it's definitely possible to get this working with the current codebase.
