SnapStart supports SAML2 Authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When using an HTTP Post to SnapStart into Pega using PRCustom style or PRAuth style SAML authentication, the login was looping back to the login request. Investigation showed that the Pega ACS was posting data properly back to the RelayState URL, however the login activity was not getting the SAMLResponse and simply sent a SAML Login Request again. This has been fixed by updating reqContextURI in case of SAML2 Authentication service so pyActivity=value will be passed.

PackageComponent updated for use with repositories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Exporting a zip file created by the Component wizard to a repository resulted in an error, however the same process worked as expected when the zip file was created by the Product wizard. Investigation showed that pxPackageComponent was not kept up to date with new metadata requirements for Artifactory export. This has been resolved by modifying pxPackageComponent step 7 to set Param.ArtifactType to "component" and Param.ArtifactName to [component name]_[component version]. A privilege check has also been added to zipMoveExport.

Certificate match will use Subject Distinguished Name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Signature verification was failing due to the system not finding the matching root certificate for the chain. The root certificate was in the trust store, but the system found a different certificate first and that other certificate (an intermediate certificate) was not considered a valid certificate for validating the whole certificate chain. This was traced to filtering on the Issuer Distinguished Name (DN) instead of the Subject DN and was due to intermediate certificates potentially having the same Issuer as a root certificate (e.g. if that root certificate was used to create the intermediate certificate). To resolve this, an update has been made to check the Subject DN instead of Issuer DN.

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Admin Studio will consider cluster protocol when returning listener status
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using a few nodes in standalone mode for BIX extract combined with server nodes using Hazelcast, opening the admin studio pages with service discovery caused an error to be thrown. This was traced to the system writing an entry to pr_sys_statusnodes table as an embedded node whenever a BIX extract was triggered, causing those standalone nodes to be incorrectly considered by the listener landing page. This has been resolved by configuring the system to either return the local member when the cluster protocol is standalone or to return all Hazelcast members if the cluster protocol is Hazelcast.

Handling added for using virtual network interface for Stream Services startup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, the restart of any node failed with the error "Unable to create DSM service DATA-DECISION-SERVICE-STREAMSERVER DEFAULT". This has been resolved by adding support for allowing stream service to start on the virtual network interface in cases where it was explicitly configured via the "cluster/hazelcast/interface".

Resolved ruleset save issue for Google Chrome/IE
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When using particular versions of Google Chrome or IE, the intermittent error "pyComponentInterfaceClass: <user> does not exist or is not a valid entry for this ruleset and its prerequisites" appeared when attempting to validate an application, and the ruleset could not be saved. This was traced to changes made in the browser around password handling, and has been resolved by explicitly clearing out the pyComponentInterfaceClass if that value is not in use.

Updated security for importing Excel to a decision table via a delegated rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
An error was seen when attempting to import an Excel file into a delegated decision table when using the case manager portal. This has been resolved by correcting a BAC issue for decision table import in the pzRuleDeclareDecisionTableStandard.js file.

Browser cache disabled to ensure fresh RAP file retrieval
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When using RAP download, reusing the same filename as a previous download caused the older file to be retrieved and not the newer version under that name. This was caused by RAP using the browser cache and downloading the same folder from service export directory. To resolve this, validation has been inserted to disable using the browser cache for the HTTP response.

Expanded results for Proposition Filter Relevant Record Properties
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Previously, a maximum of 500 records were returned from pr_data_tag_relevantrecord when using Edit Parameters for the report definition proposition filter rule. In order to accommodate more complex needs, an update has been made to use the D_pxGetClassDataModel data page to fetch all the records and make them available in the dropdown.
