When the application definition under “integration and security" tab was configured to use "Store in web storage provider" to allow choosing the storage name and the authentication profile, configuring the authentication profile to use an OpenID connect provider with the pyEndpointURL property given as a global resource setting such as (=D_SharepointDetails.url) was not working as expected. Clicking browse in the application definition sent the request to the OpenID connect provider and was returned with the error "The reference =D_SharepointDetails.url is not valid.

The Google Chrome browser version 80 and above now treats SameSite with a blank value as "Lax" by default, causing mashup scenarios to break. In order to compensate for this change, support has been added for setting SameSite=None in Cookie Settings; this value automatically includes the “secure” cookie flag, which enforces HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. Create a Dynamic system setting in the Pega-Engine RuleSet with the name “security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue” and the value "None" and restart the server.

Temporary files from imports and exports (from DevOps) were filling up the staging area disk space because there was no automatic process for cleaning up these local files. This has been resolved by adding an enhancement that will clear the directory on Engine Startup and any time ParUtils.setStagingDirectory gets called to initialize the staging directory.

Previously, Stream Registration, which was added as an extra layer of protection during the display of stream rules, automatically registered any streams being used in the context and checked this registry during reloadSection/reloadHarness calls to prevent Broken Access Control attacks. However, only an alert was thrown and no further action was being taken on it. With platform added support for URL Tampering, Stream Registration is no longer required and has been deprecated.

Numerous messages were generated indicating that the Authorization Header format was invalid when using the format " : " (Base64 Og==) . As this is the default behavior for a particular class of proxy servers, the error statement has been updated to be logged as a debug statement and will be visible only when that logging is enabled.

In work done in previous versions to modify the SameSite cookie handling to support Mashups in Google Chrome v80+, SameSite was set to None only in case of an authenticated Pega-RULES cookie and not for a Pre-authenticated cookie. That caused the Samesite value to not be set when using a pre-authenticated cookie, and the blank value was treated as 'Lax', causing a login challenge. To resolve this, Samesite will be set to 'None' when using pre-authenticated cookie, which will match the way it is being set in authenticated cookie.
