Currently it would benefit the UI only. That's mostly because there is 
no mechanism in the cli to cache the session ID. Adding that wouldn't be 
too difficult except for the issue of how to store the session ID 
securely, it would have to be written to a file (unlike with a browser 
which is supposed to hold session cookies in memory). Is there an 
ability to add a data item like this to the user's kerberos credential 
cache?
