This project it's just a simple example of client/server app with Node.js
Just clone this repo and run genkey.sh (sorry for Windows users) for create all certificates and keys. It take only one parameter that should be the location where you want to store keys and certs. (for this repo example, just run with '.')
Example: ./genkey.sh .
should show something like that:

Getting CA Private Key
Done !
Execute node tls-server to run the server.
And then run (in another terminal) the client with node tls-client.
Server side, the terminal should displays :
server listening on port 8000
insecure connection
secure connection; client authorized: true
And on the client side :
client connected authorized
End connection
Thanks ceejbot, the script for key and certs generation it's based on the topic Using client certs in node.js
