POGenerating a CSR for root domain (includes www or not?)

Body
copied!<p>I am trying to set up SSL for the first time. I purchased my domain and SSL certificate from Gandi.net. Their docs say </p> <blockquote> <p>subdomain.example.com indicates the subdomain that you want to protect. This is the most important part. If you have a single-address certificate to activate, you should put in the full subdomain (e.g. foo.example.com). <strong>The www subdomain is added automatically by the CA, for example, example.com will secure both example.com and www.example.com</strong> If you have a wildcard certificate, you should put in a * for the subdomain (e.g. *.example.com). Wildcard certificates also secure the raw domain (with no subdomain). - <a href="http://wiki.gandi.net/en/ssl/csr">http://wiki.gandi.net/en/ssl/csr</a></p> </blockquote> <p>I am hosting my app on Heroku and their docs say:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Common Name field must match the secure domain. <strong>You cannot purchase a certificate for the root domain, e.g., example.com, and expect to secure www.example.com.</strong> The inverse is also true. Additionally, SSL Endpoint only supports one certificate per app. Please keep this in mind for multi-domain applications and specify a Common Domain that matches all required domains. - <a href="https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-endpoint#acquire-ssl-certificate">https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/ssl-endpoint#acquire-ssl-certificate</a></p> </blockquote> <p>These seem to conflict. Please advise!</p>
