This has nothing to do with the client side. It's part of the server
configuration, more specifically the configuration of the mod_ssl
authentication module in apache. You can specify to use any SSL
variable as the username with the SSLUserName option. To use the CN of
the client certificate as the username, you can do this:

SSLUserName SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN

Read http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html
