Improved operator security
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
To improve security, Pega® Platform now requires the following:
- During deployment, you must configure a password for [email protected].
- The administrator must enable new out-of-the-box operators.
- The administrator and new Pega-supplied operators must change their passwords after the first login.
These requirements replace the optional secured mode in earlier versions of Pega Platform.
Support for OpenID Connect authentication
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
Pega® Platform now supports authentication services that use OpenID Connect, an emerging standard for government and enterprise cloud environments. This standard facilitates interoperability among identity management solutions and authentication through authentication providers that adhere to the OpenID Connect specification, including Auth0, NetIQ, and social media sites such as Google.
For more information, see Configuring an OpenID Connect authentication service.
New privilege required to access the Search landing page
Valid from Pega Version 7.4
After upgrading to Pega® Platform 7.4, users who do not have the pxAccessSearchLP privilege cannot access the Search landing page. The pxAccessSearchLP privilege is automatically assigned to the SysAdm4 role. If you have other roles that require access to the Search landing page, you must add the pxAccessSearchLP privilege to those roles.
For more information about assigning privileges to roles, see User privilege authorization. (Link to: basics/v6portal/landingpages/accessmanager/customizeprivilegestab.htm)
