Prevent Search Engine Indexes a Web Page

Question

I have a members control panel page which I don't want search engine to index.

I did the following:

1. The page is secured, if there isn't a session or password provided, then direct user to main page. Redirect the user as following:

   header("location:HOME PAGE");
   exit();

2. I put only one meta with the following attributes

name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"

Is this solution good enough?
