... I'm only mildly concerned about
the keyring name, as we use a totally different name associated with
SMP/E, not with Java. That keyring works fine today.

If you're already downloading securely, then you can continue to use your same keyring. My example in the article was simply that, an example, which uses the default Java truststore instead of a security manager (RACF) keyring:

<CLIENT
  downloadmethod=”https”
  downloadkeyring=”javatruststore”
  javahome="/usr/lpp/java/J6.0"
  >
</CLIENT>

I call this the "Fast Path" because for someone that is not already downloading securely, then using HTTPS with the Java truststore is the quickest and simplest choice because you don't need to mess around with keyrings or a security manager product at all.
