When WebSphere users configured their WebSphere services with custom TLS certificates, the Contrast Java agent prematurely initialized WebSphere's certificate manager as a side-effect. This caused the WebSphere TLS connections to fail unexpectedly. This issue has been resolved by adding a special exception for WebSphere to Contrast's TLS initialization whereby Contrast will use an isolated `SSLSocketFactory` instead of the Java runtime's default system socket factory.

When users configure their application with a session-based vulnerability auto-verification policy, and the user does not configure their Contrast agent with an explicit session_id configuration parameter, then Contrast wrongfully auto-verifies vulnerabilities. We resolved this issue by fixing a race condition, so we can ensure that auto-verification will work as expected when the user has configured their agent to use the contrast.agent.java.standalone_app_name configuration.
