My explanations come from this PHP/Apache example. It's a simplified explanation, look at the original example for full details.

The client generate a public key for the server and keep a private key.

The public key is extracted by the server:

$key = $_REQUEST['pubkey'];

The server build a client certificate:

$command = "/usr/bin/openssl ca -config ".$opensslconf." -days ".$days." -notext -batch -spkac ".$certfolder.$uniq.".spkac -out ".$certfolder.$uniq." -passin pass:'".$capw."' 2>&1";
$output = shell_exec($command);

and send it back to the client.

You can then configure Apache to allow access to authentified clients:

SSLEngine on
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
SSLCertificateFile /etc/CA/certs-pub/domain.der
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/CA/certs-priv/domain.pem
SSLCACertificateFile /etc/CA/certs-pub/ca.pem
SSLCARevocationFile /etc/CA/crl/cacrl.pem
