In context I'm sure he means server (only) authentication 
versus server and client authentication, which is commonly 
called just client auth or client cert since to users that 
is the visible difference. (There are suites with no auth 
at all -- A[EC]DH, KRB5, PSK -- but they are rarely used.)

The TLS RFCs (2246, 4346, 5246) show the maximal message flow, 
with description of which messages are omitted (or varied) 
in various cases. I don't know anything that lays out all 
the cases separately.

4158 describes and pictures several possible CA architectures, 
although some of them are IMHO not very practical.

SSL/TLS the protocol does not, but OpenSSL does.
