Im writing a client-servlet program. If i use a client (not webbrowser) is
it then possible to use Tomcat Realm(JNDI) to authenticate to LDAP using
SOAP protocol? Or do i have to make the authentication myself in my java
servlet using JNDI (is this safe btw)?

Depends on what SOAP library (if any) you are using. I have seen BASIC
auth work with Axis (can't remember which version but it was within the
last few months).
A long time ago I did try to get CLIENT-CERT working with Axis but hit a
Tomcat bug. The Tomcat bug has been fixed but priorities
