Authentication via weblogic security realm

Question

          My servlet needs to access a session bean. The action in the session bean requires
          that a user has been authorized, i.e. at some point the session been calls
          String name = d_ctx.getCallerPrincipal().getName()
          This name may not be null at this time.
          What I would like to have is that the user executing the URL gets authenticated
          by my server realm 'myrealm' and that the associated prinicpal gets passed to
          the session bean. Is this possible. If so, how can the user pass along the username
          and password as this query is executed programmatically?

The passing of the client's certificate should be automatic to WebLogic.We
have an example of getting the client side certificate from inside of
WebLogic in our documentation.
This does not require for SSL to be used from the Web server to
WebLogic.

I have read through the docs and haven't found anything that would
address
the following confusion:
Suppose I want to use Apache or IPlanet as the webserver with WebLogicas
the back end application server (obviously). I have the need to use 2way
SSL authentication. As I understand it the following applies:
Client (browser) has a certificate as does the web server. Theyauthenticate
each other.
Now, the web server and weblogic need to communicate. WebLogic, in our
environment does authentication via the security realm.
What do I have to do to get the the web server (Apache or IPlanet) to
communicate the client's certificate to WebLogic so the WebLogic canperform
the authentication?
Does the communication between the web server and WebLogic also need
to
be
SSL?
