Actually, at this point, I'd be using the PEM-encoded DER files (just
like httpd does) instead of a packaged cert/key bundle, just because I
find those easier to deal with.

In fact, I think you are using PEM-encoded DER files and not a
packaged keystore, even though your SSLHostConfig's keystoreType is
set to "PKCS12".

If you use a tool like certbot-auto (which may or may not be available
for Windows), all of this is done automatically for you.

I'll have to triple-check, but I believe you can put all certificates
into a single file like you can do with httpd. Just make sure that
your server's certificate (leaf) is listed first, then the
intermediate certificate(s), then the root certificate. Usually you do
not need to supply the root certificate since most clients should have
the root certificates available already.

Use SSL Labs' SSLTest[1] to help make sure you don't have too little
or too much in your certificate. Too little and your clients will get
trust errors. Too much and you'll be wasting bandwidth sending the
root CA certificate to clients who don't need it.

If there's anything inaccurate on the Tomcat site, please post here.
If there's anything inaccurate with the httpd site, please post to the
httpd-users list ... or here if you are super lazy and maybe one of
the lurking httpd committers will take care of the problem.
