Tomcat can't do client certificate authentication

[da...@bt.com]

I've been trying to do this for the last two weeks. There is no
documentation on it (the SSLHowto only describes HTTPS). So I have to
conclude that Tomcat can't do client certs, so we can't use it. Is this
correct ?

Within our company we've decided to use client certificates for security. 
I've spent all week trying to get this working on Tomcat. If the client and 
server are on the same machine it's easy. But how do I do it if the client 
is on a different machine ? I can get SSL working on HTTPS no problem, but 
client certificates ? No way. 
  
If we can't find an answer we'll have to ban the use of Tomcat in our 
company for any serious work.
