Description

We should leverage AuthenticationInfo caching of Shiro to cut repeated ldap binds for the same user in short time frame. Otherwise, the REST calls can tirgger too many ldap binds.

We are using "ldap bind" here for simpilicity. This is applicable really for any auth store bind/lookup.

it is possible we may be already getting this benefit.
Would have to test, verify and fix as appropriate.
