It should be obvious, that you should secure any website with an SSL certificate. There's neither an excuse nor a valid reason for it. Ok, there's one theoretical exception I would accept.

• You are run a single server environment.
• Use only local accounts.
• You only log in to WEBCON  BPS Portal on the server itself
• The traffic on the website port is blocked.

If your use case is different you shuold use an SSL certificate. I'm using 'Let`s encrypt' service for my private environment. Using it with Windows IIS is pretty easy too as you will see in my latest blog post. It requires:

1. An internet connection on the server where the SSL certificate should be downloaded
2. Installation of two tools.
3. A password.
4. A script with 7 lines of code.
