If you have the ability to create your own (self signed) ssl certificates here is some info:

Yes, you have two options:

1 - Purchase a 3rd part SSL cert and use that, following the guide George linked to.

2 - Follow this guide I wrote that shows how to setup your own Certificate Authority and then generate certificates signed by it, you then add the CA cert to all your computers so it is trusted (you can automate this via group policy), and then install the certificate you signed with your own CA into Spiceworks.

This is a bit more effort to get setup and doesn’t work so well if you have external computers accessing SW as they will still get SSL errors, but where you control all the computers accessing SW then creating your own CA is a viable option.
