It really depends on your client toolkit as to what persistent connections are taking hold. The iControl assembly for .Net and Java, as well as SOAP::Lite for Perl all make independent connections for each request. The initialize method in the assemblies merely tests the credentials on a get_version() method to see that they will work.

 

 

So, unless you've built your own client soap library, you shouldn't have to worry about persistent connections to the management interface.
