Zend Framework 2 restrict route to controller action

Question

Have searched for this but i'm coming up short. What is the best way to restrict access to an action in a controller in ZF2? What i want is to only call a certain action in a controller (which is in a different module) if the request comes from a specific action - if not redirect to 404. I see that i can use

$this->getRequest()->getUri()->getPath()

to get the current URL, but what i want is the previous one? I could put this in a session variable, or pass it as a parameter in the route but is there a better way? Reason is that i have a multi step form and i wish to only allow step 2 if the user came from step 1, otherwise 404.

What is the recommended ZF2 practice for this? thanks

You should probably not handle this via urls. I'd look into Zend\Session\Container to manage state explicitly after you submit the first form.
