Our usernames are not named 
 exactly the same 
   as the x509 cert 'subject' attr.  (or any other attr)

I was hoping i could do some mapping
  to match a client cert (attr)
   to an existing tomcat username

...perhaps 
 similar to the way it appears CAS does

Why can't you use just use an <auth-method> of CLIENT-CERT in the 
<login-config> 
for your webapp and let the container take care of it?  (Hint: read the servlet 
spec.)  Also check this wiki entry:
