The place certificate is on the disk, and the name of the file (or
extension on the filename) is not important. For each and every
application you mentioned, you can change where it searches for the
certificate from the application's configuration file (for example,
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf for Apache web server). So you can point all
of them to look for certificate in /usr/share/ssl/certs, or /etc/certs,
or wherever else you choose to store it on the disk. They can all share
the same file.
If you don't want to change default configuration (don't see any reason
why you wouldn't want to do it, but that is your call), just create
symbolic links or make copy of the files wherever the application
expects the certificate to be.
