I do want encrypted traffic but I also want password authentication, which I 
hope should be secure enough as long as the traffic is going over SSL. But it 
would seem that you can't have password authentication if you also have 
encryption.

I think you’re mixing up client and server certs. The typical SSL connection 
uses a server cert. Client certs are less commonly used; the client provides 
one to authenticate itself to the server, in lieu of a password. That’s what 
the snippet you showed is checking for.
