Thanks for mentioning LEGO. Any time I've been mentioning certbot, you
can replace that with $your-favorite-acme-client.

You *should* be able to do this without stopping Tomcat, but it might
end up complicating other things. If you have a reverse proxy server,
this is trivial to avoid. If you are binding Tomcat directly to port 80,
this is not so easy.

Another option is to use DNS-based authentication where your web server
isn't involved.
