Many of us on this alias are on holiday, so please be patient. I don't know how the storage for the gnome-keyring compares to the existing storage of keys in Solaris. We certainly provide similar functionality via the Key Management Framework (KMF) but we don't have GUIs to manage keys. It would seem logical that JDS should be providing the appropriate GUIs. All three of the features you've listed are supported in Solaris so they should be supported by JDS.
