Great!

Note that you have only secured the communication between the client and
the server: you could still have security vulnerabilities that could be
exploited over a secure (SSL) connection.

You will need to configure your SSL connector to request client
authentication (depending on your needs, you may want to use the "want"
of "true" settings for the "clientAuth" property).

See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/ssl-howto.html for more
details. I would read the entire page, taking special care to read the
sections that mention "client authentication".

After you set that up, you'll want to configure your webapp's
WEB-INF/web.xml to use CLIENT-CERT authentication. Set up your
security-constraint sections as with any other kind of authentication.
