  1. You are able to authenticate users, and thus a basic set of authorization.
  2. That is correct, the username should be available in the certificate, usually the Common Name.
  3. The client will have to select the specific certificate when it authenticates in his browser. If the corresponding private key is encrypted, the user should also enter the password before he can authenticate.
  4. https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-implementations-11-1-0/35.html
