You need to import a *client* certificate into your browser (following the
procedures for your browser -- it has nothing to do with Tomcat).

Then, when the server is set up to challenge for client certificates
(which it will if you use CLIENT-CERT as the authentication mechanism, or
you've set the "clientAuth" attribute on the HTTPS connector), the browser
will pop up a dialog asking you which of your client certificates you want
to send in response.
