What do you mean by secure? What is the security threat you're trying
to address? Just asking "is X secure" isn't really specific enough to
be easily answered in many cases.

If you're concerned about whether people can view information in
transit, TLS/SSL is adequate for most threat levels.

If you're concerned that someone could invoke the service from another
machine, and potentially brute-force the password, use something that
addresses this problem: client certificates, VPN tunneling, standard
port blocking, etc.

If you're concerned that someone could identify the password on the
client, use something that addresses secure password storage: DPAPI,
server startup keys, PKI, etc.
