SSLContext created using protocol from REST connector rule form
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrading to IBM websphere v9.0.5.6 or higher, API calls Like REST, Connect-HTTP etc were failing to connect to endpoints using TLSv1.2. Investigation showed that although the connector was configured to send TLSv1.2, the ClientHello handshake was triggered for TLSv1.3. Because the SSLContext was created with highest version supported by protocol in the WAS container, this has been resolved by modifying the code to create SSLContext based on the the protocol selected in the REST connector rule form. Additionally, please note that the Connect-HTTP connector has been deprecated and the Connect-REST capabilities in the platform should be used instead.

Timeout check added to authorization to preserve portal context
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using SAML SSO Authentication Service with "Use access group timeout" and "Redirect to IDP login after logout" selected and "Force authentication" not selected, manually logging out correctly returned the view to the custom SSO login page but the timeout logout returned the default Pega login page as if SSO was not in use. Analysis showed there was a "Failed to open portal" error after doing some action post timeout, and this was traced to pyPortal page not having a value. Investigation showed this was blank due to the creation of new thread while the requestor state was perceived as unauthenticated because of the timeout. To resolve this, a timeout check has been added to the following: Authorization#setActiveAccessGroup(java.lang.String, boolean, boolean, java.util.Map) BasicApplicationContextImmutableImpl#applyApplicationProperties

database locking improved for login performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
A slowness issue seen when trying to login to my.pega.com was traced to numerous database locks occurring on the pr_data_saml_authreqcontext table during the SAML flow. Analysis showed that while running Obj-Save on AuthRequestContext with 'OnlyIfNew' as false, the check caused a select query to run on the table to determine if the context was already there and insert it if it was not. To resolve this, the onlyIfNew check will default to true to avoid running the query; if the context is already present it will be overridden. Duplicate key exception handling has also been added to avoid any issues if a resave is done with same key.

Enhancement added for tenant-level authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
In a multi-tenant PDC with a few tenants that utilize their own custom SSO, a pre-authentication activity inside a tenant that should block community access was also affecting tenants that did not have that pre-auth activity set. This was a missed use case and has been resolved by adding a tenantId hash in SchemePRAuth.makeUniqueSchemeName() to create the authServiceName.

Authentication requirement updated for CallConnector
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After update, invoking a REST API call during SSO login which eventually called pxCallConnector (Final Activity) in @baseclass Pega-RulesEngine failed at the CallConnector step. This was caused by a change in recent Pega versions which enabled authentication for this activity, and has been resolved by marking the activity as internal and disabling the authentication requirement.

Service Email handling updated for MSGraph "From" address
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
While creating cases via email listener, the "From" address was not shown when using MSGraph. This was an issue with extracting the display name when MSGraph is used, and has been resolved by adding double quotes to display the name unconditionally.
