    Here's a great article on SSL certificates - http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/security/investigator/archives/howto-securing... - it covers most everything you need for setting up 1 way and 2 way certs...

    There is no such thing as a two way SSL certificate. There are two certificates involved, but they are essentially separate. It's only the overall solution and concept that is two way. For example - It's common for clustered systems, SOAP/XML interchanges happening over apache, to require both parties involved to require a certificate to ensure mutual trust.
