Corrected SAML SSO error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
After opening a case from the Pega-FCM portal or after logging in from SSO, closing the Pega window and opening it again resulted in the error "Unable to process the SAML WebSSO request : Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint %27pr_data_saml_requestor_PK%27. Cannot insert duplicate key in object". This was a missed use case that happens only under the old SAML configuration, and has been resolved by removing a when condition that checks for stepstatus fail for the pySAMLwebSSOAuthentication activity.

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.

SAML datapages cleared before new authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
If a previous user had not logged out or timed out when using SAML authentication, a second person using the same device/browser would end up in the first user's session after performing their own authentication. Investigation showed the second login D_SAMLAssertionDataPage was not getting refreshed with the current user login details; this has been resolved by explicitly deleting the SAML Datapages before processing a new login if the session has not timed out.

User lookup list correctly populated when using # tag
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When typing '#ANewTag @' in Pulse, the user lookup list was not shown. Using '#ExistingTag @' worked as expected. This was a missed use case in work done to improve the performance of pzJquerymentionsInput by restricting REST calls, and has been resolved.

Check added for child join class when using ABAC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When a join was applied on a report definition and the same join class had a child class to which ABAC was applied (for some property eg., isABC), an "invalidreference" exception (isABC) was generated. This was traced to the system taking into account the child class of the join class while running the report, and has been resolved by adding a check to handle this scenario.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
An enhancement has been added which provides a check box on the Authentication Service ruleform to select the option of redirecting users back to their original authentication service screen after logoff.

PackageComponent updated for use with repositories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.
