That's not so bad if it's just 20 clients. Beats having to spend US$350
for a certificate, and that's just for a 40 bit encryption key. Please
note, that you also have to have a valid Fully Qualified Domain Name to
use a Certificate.

You need to get a Secure Server Certificate. You can purchase one from
Verisign or if you have Win2K Server you can install MS Certificate
Server
and generate your own cert. In order to do this you need to generate a
Certificate Server Request or CSR from the IIS management console under
the
directory security tab, submit it and install the resultant
certificatee.
Problem with generating your own certificate is that you will need to
install the Trusted Root Authority in your client browsers in order for
it
to work properly.
