A little update here for people looking for the immediate fix:

This issue relates with TLS and Java 8, like described here: http://aerogear-dev.1069024.n5.nabble.com/aerogear-dev-UPS-issues-with-UPS-1-1-on-OpenShift-manual-deploy-td11322.html

The immediate steps to fix it are:

1. Create a cartridge with WildFly Application Server 8.2.0.Final
2. git clone ssh://42@mycartridge.rhcloud.com/~/git/mycartridge.git
3. cd mycartridge && rm .openshift/markers/java8
4. touch .openshift/markers/java7
5. Deploy UPS and the Auth server

Note: This is not the fix, only the immediate solution for people willing to deploy UPS with the latest changes right now.
