So Patrick explained to me on IRC that they do not want to expand 
Kerberos into other services, and (more importantly) they are unwilling 
to allow Beaker to query the corresponding LDAP directory which would be 
needed for user lookups.

As an alternative Patrick has supplied a patch to support Oauth2 bearer 
tokens for authentication in the bkr CLI, which I will work on getting 
into the next Beaker release. Once that is done and deployed on 
beaker.qa.fedoraproject.org we should finally have a way to submit jobs 
unattended using the CLI.
