With client certificates y mean to follow client-cert auth paradigm, i.e., the client has its own client certificate so the server can guarantee that only certain clients can call its code i.e. the same that you do in your browser with client certificates.
I have continued to investigate and it seems that client-certs at least on the most common VMs are not supported. The main reason is the heavy CPU load needed to interchange client certificate based keys in the SSL communication with the server.
