[Pulp-list] Minor usability problem with stale cached login credentials

After spending some time trying to figure out why my management client 
was complaining that my server's SSL cert had expired (despite the fact 
I had just regenerated the cert), I eventually realised it was actually 
complaining about the locally cached cert that holds the server login 
details.

Part of that's a display problem in my own management client [1], but 
I'm considering raising an upstream bug on Pulp as well, since the error 
details from Pulp in this case are currently just:

"sslv3 alert certificate expired"

Changing that to something like "Cached login credentials have expired, 
please refresh with 'pulp-admin auth login'" would definitely have saved 
me some time today.

Regards,
Nick.
