The OID is required to support Single Sign On (SSO); which allows seamless integration between Portal, Forms & Reports. Without SSO you'd have to authenicate at least once for each component. Remember that inherently the web is a stateless creature. In a worst case scenario you'd have to authenticate between every screen.
