This is by design. I feel the KeyStore implementation in JSS does not work well
enough to be activated or supported. This is briefly mentioned at the bottom of
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/jss/provider_notes.html .

Sun plans to improve the KeyStore API in JDK 1.5, partly in response to issues
raised by my attempt at a JSS implementation. I anticipate that a JSS KeyStore
implementation will become feasible with JDK 1.5.

The code is there, so you are welcome to build your own JSS with the KeyStore
provider installed
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/jss/jss_build_3.3.html). Good luck!
