Brian,

You should create CSR and KEY for *.yourdomain.com.

Submit CSR to CA

CA will send you CRT and may be CAcert.

You should install KEY, CRT and (if CA sent you CAcert)

Tomcat may work with 2 types of cert.

Java (keytool) certs. (tomcat without native connector) - these certs
are not tomcat specific. They are used by any Java app.

Openssl certs. (tomcat with native connector) These certs are similar to
Apache + Openssl or Apache + mod_ssl

Cheers,
