Follow the instructions for the user certificate but use the following template:
cn = "www.example.com"
expiration_days = 9999
signing_key
encryption_key
tls_www_server

The TLS protocol requires that the CA certificate isn't included in
the list presented by the server (but many servers don't follow that
requirement). There is no need for that since the client must already
have it to very the server certificate.
Nevertheless, if you need to have it included just append it after the
server certificate.
