Issue/Introduction
We'd like to know if you support Web Agent with OpenShift software to dynamically be able to register the Web Agent. What is important for us to know, is the process to register every Apache instance that OpenShift wake up during high work peaks with CASSO and how to unregister that instance when OpenShift takes it down during low peaks. If there is any way to do that.

Using Web Agent in Dynamically Scaled Environments
CA SSO Web Agents can be used in dynamically scaled environments such as Docker containers and OpenShift. Using these technologies require taking a different approach to register the Web Agent instances. For more information, see Use Web Agent in Dynamically Scaled Environments.
For each application, create a trusted host using Java Agent API SDK. Using this method you can create a new trusted host and obtain its generated shared secret in an unencrypted string format. You must save this shared secret to use as part of the data initialization of the application. You can use this approach to register all versions of the Web Agents (6x and later). The following sample code can be used to register an application, the sample code uses SDK versions 12.5 and up. You can also use SDK version 12.0 by removing the lines that handle FIPS mode:
