I have a question. We are using a CNAME on our server to direct to an application we host on another server. Which server would I install the SSL certificate on for that cloud application? We would need to use the CNAME host name. Thanks.

The SSL Certificate gets issued for whatever the user types into their browser.

If the user types in www.example.com, then you need a cert for "www.example.com"
It does not matter how DNS looks up the server, CNAME, A records, whatever.

The Certificate gets installed on the web server. There would be only one in the scenario you described.
