For now I realize this by running the unlock of the login.keychain within the Jenkins job before running my build script

like: in the Jenkins job for "execute shell"

security unlock-keychain -p password /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
echo ##### building now ######################
./buildit.sh ios --release -v

This may not be the 100% nicest solution - but for now it works :P
