Random ID generation changed to use OpenSAML
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In certain cases, SSO setup with SAML 2.0 failed with the message "Unable to process the SAML WebSSO request: Unable to process SAML2 Authentication". The error was due to the generated ID being sent with a "+" character in it which could not be handled smoothly. To avoid this issue, the system has been changed to use the OpenSAML API instead of using UUID when generating random IDs for all types of WebSSO requests.

Addressed ruleset integrations problems using Google Chrome
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When using Google Chrome and running the Integration > Tools > Rule-From-File wizard, the ruleset version was not displayed and it was not possible to proceed past the screen that requires values for rule name, ruleset, ruleset version and class name. This was due to there not being an input field for RuleSet Version, and the validation of that step in the wizard fails. This issue occurred due to Google Chrome not supporting the use of document.all in the HTML code, leading to an undefined value for the JavaScript. This has been resolved by changes to the HTML to make it browser code independent.

Logic was added to ML7 to disable the SQL Merge command in environments that do not support it, but this was failing with an exception trying to parse the Tomcat name/version string if the installation was using a custom version of Tomcat and the string was not in the expected format. To handle this, the logic has been updated to to handle a custom Tomcat Name/Version string that may or may not contain version information. However, please note the following important information: The system will disable Merge if the out-of-the-box Tomcat version is detected where version If the system is using a custom Tomcat instance

Data page form displaying activity parameters from 'when' rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
While displaying the parameters list for source activity in data page rule form, an icon was displayed. This was traced to the visibility condition being an expression but mentioned as a 'when' rule, causing the parameter dialog to not load. This has been resolved by updating the pzActivityParamList activity to change the visibility condition as expression from a 'when' rule.

Date properties and Time properties were taking their reference from the server's default time zone, which created unexpected behaviors for operators in other time zones using start and end date functions. This has been resolved by updating the time-related RUFs to use the operator's defined time zone

DASS switch added for use with older Connect Rest passing encoded inputs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.2
As of Pega 8.2, an EmbedURL configuration in the REST connector was made available to provide flexibility to choose URL-encoding on an as-needed basis. In order to support connectors created prior to Pega 8.2, a configuration has been added to support usecases that pass encoded inputs to the connector execution. This is available by way of a connect/DisablePathDecoding DASS switch in the REST connector resource path parameters handling.

Added fallback keyinfo handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a SAML assertion response is received in the authentication activity, an error indicated the KeyInfo was missing in the signature. This was caused by a lack of redundancy in the keyinfo handling that caused an exception when keyinfo was not included in the SAML response. Support has now been added to check the certificate in the truststore where the certificate from IDP metadata would have been imported, and there is an added null check in the debug logs.
