getAuth() returns CLIENT-CERT for me.

org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SSLAuthenticator.authenticate() has this code
before it returns:

        // Authenticate the specified certificate chain
        principal = context.getRealm().authenticate(certs);
        if (principal == null) {
            if (debug >= 1)
                log("  Realm.authenticate() returned false");
            hres.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED,
                           sm.getString("authenticator.unauthorized"));
            return (false);
        }

        // Cache the principal (if requested) and record this authentication
        register(request, response, principal, Constants.CERT_METHOD,
                 null, null); 

register() sets the auth method (Constants.CERT_METHOD) on the request. Seems
that you're returning before register() is being called, ie, the subject DN in
your client's cert fails to be authenticated against the realm. In case you're
using the memory realm, did you add a <user> element with a username matching
the subject DN of your client cert to your tomcat-users.xml?
