Corrected SAML SSO logout error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When performing a SAML SSO Logout, an error appeared indicating some artifacts were missing. This was traced to an incorrect NameQualifier being generated with IDP in the logoff request, and has been fixed by modifying the code to include an SPNameQualifier attribute for the NameID element in the logout request. Namespace has been added for logout requests at the parent level instead adding it at each node element.

Added SAML parameter page generation for local use to bypass null auth object
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
After defining any step which used parameters in the Post authentication activity of a SAML authentication service, the authentication failed with a java.lang.NullPointerException at com.pega.pegarules.session.internal.mgmt.Executable.putParamValue(Executable.java:3030). This was traced to local logic inserted to iterate through the SAML attributes that used a null parameter page. To resolve this, code has been inserted that will generate a new parameter page for the iteration rather than getting it from the authentication object.

Corrected handling for SAML logoff
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
On SAML logoff, the error "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator; Status:fail ... No certificate found in truststore" appeared. Investigation showed this was an issue with the aliasing of certificates and signing that led to the requestor not being terminated for that logoff response. To correct this, when Pega receives a logout request which is invalid, it will terminate the session instead of throwing a PRRunTimeException.

Optimize Schema Index Creation updated to use Admin Datasource when available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
When configured according to the Pega Installation Guide, the SQL Server base user did not have the ALTER privilege enabled on the data schema. The Optimize Schema Index Creation was using the base user datasource "jdbc/PegaRULES" instead of the admin datasource "jdbc/AdminPegaRULES" even though an admin connection was available. This was an oversight during development, and has been fixed by modifying NoDBAUtils.java to use an admin connection if one is available. In addition, a clarification has been added to the UI to alert the user that an optimization job has been scheduled rather than completed.

Added null check to resolve error when using datapage as dropdown source
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
The user application was hanging with the browser console error "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input" when using Dropdown controls with Datapage as a source in conjunction with parameterized datapages to create a cascading second dropdown. This did not happen when using any other data sources for the same control dropdown. This has been resolved by adding a null check at the reloadcell response.

Added check for missing rule data when using abstract class in CSS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
Including CSS optimization with abstract class in the Advanced tab of the 'Add Optimization' Screen resulted in a Null pointer exception error. This has been resolved by adding a check for missing data from a rule to make the system more resilient in its handling of a corrupt flow-action clipboard page.

SAML login rule form documentation updated to reflect usage with IDP
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.2
SAML authentication was not working properly during login. This was traced to the assertion not being signed when SAML responses received from IDP require this, and was due to the check box under SP settings not being applied for POST binding. As a result, a local IDP configuration sent a signed response but not a signed assertion. To clarify this, the label message in the SAML rule form has been modified to read "Reject unsigned response and assertion" and the help documentation has been updated to reflect this usage.

Oniine help files updated to more completely reflect SAML Authentication Rule Form fields
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.1
The online help files have been updated to reflect that the SAML Authentication Rule form has various fields including Entity Identification, Login Location, Logout protocol binding, and Artifact Resolution Service Location that support GRS syntax (=D_myDataPage). When configuring SAML it is also required to update WebSSO Service Package to point to the Access Group as the Application Access Group. https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v74/procomhelpmain.htm#concepts/concepts2/globalresourcesettingfields.htm
