Calling an Authenticated SOAP Web Service on the company Intranet from SFDC

I have a requirement to query the Change Management (CR) system hosted on my company Intranet from Salesforce.com. The CR system provides a Web Service which expects the client (SFDC) to provide the following in the SOAP Request along with the actual query:
1. Authentication information.
2. A certificate (.cer) provided by the CR system.

I reviewed the 2-say SSL documenation at https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Making_Authenticated_Web_Service_Callouts_Using_Two-Way_SSL but was not sure how or if it is relevant to my requirement. I am not sure if the "Certificate and Key Management" feature in the Setup menu needs to be used to import the .cer file provided by the CR system.

Any pointers?

Thanks. I did check out that article as well but it only applies to the scenario where the certificate is generated from SFDC. In my case, the certificate is being provided by the Intranet team. I found out that there is a legacy process that is applicable to this scenario - https://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_callouts_client_certs_soap.htm Thanks and regards, Komal

Please implement the WS security over SOAP header.
