You need to buy a certificate specifically for sales.ourcompany.com. You can
buy a basic certificate from Thawte. As it's an extranet you don't need the
added endorsement of a Verisign certificate.
If you plan to run several websites from the same server you could buy a
wildcard certificate, *.ourcompany.com, but it's not cheap.
