I agree, Sumit. In fact, I have a local feature branch for client changes that enable the use of a token based authentication through KnoxShell along with command lines for acquiring and storing a token from a new KnoxToken service to be found by the KnoxShell. This will provide us with an SSO session at the terminal that is similar to kerberos.
I believe that this sort of client tooling requires some client-only release vehicle and/or download capability. I planned to bring this up as a DISCUSS thread itself but we can make it part of the scoping thread that you propose here.
