Yes, thanks to the use of Java Secure Socket Extensions (JSSE) underneath.
Setup and configuration instructions are at:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/ssl-howto.html
(You'll find a wealth of other answers about Tomcat 4 in this set of
documents - it is well worth your time to peruse them all.)
Besides the support for server certificates, Tomcat 4 also supports
CLIENT-CERT authentication so that you can use container managed security
based on the certificates presented by clients.
