> OpenShift Enterprise and Origin both ship an authentication plugin that allows parts of authentication to be handled by Apache and other parts to be delegated to the openshift-origin-controller codebase.  I've found that all versions of openshift-java-client after 2.3.0.Final change a (poorly documented) requirement for the OpenShift remote-user plugin.
> In order for a request to bypass the Apache authentication and passthrough to the OpenShift Broker the user-agent header is inspected.  If the user-agent is 'OpenShift' then the Broker will require an encrypted authentication token.  Today this is used by the jenkins cartridge but I believe it's also still used for scaling.
> You can see this for details:
> https://github.com/openshift/origin-server/blob/master/documentation/archive/how_nodes_act_on_behalf_of_users.md#how-the-encrypted-token-is-used
> In 2.3.0.Final of the openshift-java-client the user-agent was 'OpenShift' however all versions after this set the user-agent to the java version (eg, User-Agent: Java/1.7.0_45).
