[THIN] Securing the Web Interface

I have been running the Web Interface 3.0 to show management and some
of the users how it will benefit them and make everyone taller and
better looking etc.  It has been well received so far and it is
looking like it will move live.

The problem is that the login authentication is sending the password
in clear text and policy prohibits me from putting out anything that
sends passwords in clear text.  This is only used by internal users,
not Internet users so I think the Secure Gateway might be a little
overkill.

Can I just SSL enable IIS to secure up the login on the Web Interface?
 and If so, what is the easiest way to do this?  I don't want the
users to have to get presented with a bunch of prompts to install
things if I can avoid it.  I know enough about IIS to get the Web
Interface running and that is about it.  My IIS server is IIS 6 on
Windows 2003.  Its sole purpose in life is to support Citrix things. 
It runs the Citrix License console, web interface etc.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Greg
