This isn't my cup-of-tea, but it seems that the properties are the only 
mechanism for specifying these passwords.

I've seen some doc (http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/install.html) that 
implies the System properties are cleared when the default SSLContext and 
default TrustManagerFactory are initialized. So, it may be a matter of 
performing the appropriate initialization and the appropriate time. Barring 
that, we'd need to have the security manager block access.

I'll have a look...
