   Apache (I do not know about nginx), when configuring a host with SSL lets you request SSL authentication. That way, when a browser (client) requests content from the server, the server, instead of asking for credentials, asks for an SSL certificate that the owner of the SSL key has to have given them previously. The server, having the SSL private key, can then verify the identity of the requestor and send or deny the content.

   Long story short, allow to change the following knobs (in apache) in the (v)host configuration:
   SSLVerifyClient [none | optional | require | optional_no_ca]
   SSLVerifyDepth <integer>
