Re: ssl connection, client keys
SSL can do three jobs for you:
1. Encrypt the network traffic.
2. The client can authenticate the server (the server's public key is signed by a CA that the client trusts, or the client has a copy of the server's public key a trusted admin put into place).
3. The server can authenticate the client by public-key crypto in addition to the usual password.
Having certs on the client only helps with the third one. If you just want the encryption, the client doesn't need them.
I got frustrated with the docs and put together this very comprehensive step by step guide:
