CSRF and Browser fingerprint tokens added for testing custom scripts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, the test window appeared blank when attempting to test Decision Table rules. This was traced to there not being CSRF token and Browser fingerprint handling in the custom script used to show a prompt screen to the user. Because the CSRF token validation was missing, the request failed. To resolve this, CSRF and Browser fingerprint tokens have been added as hidden fields.

Revoke Access Token check removed from OAuth Client Registration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When client credentials were implemented, the OAuth 2.0 Client Registration form was designed such that once the instance was created and a token issued, the access tokens were deleted on save. Process changes now indicate that it should be possible to save the form because it may only have History Description/Usage changes made to it and Revoke Token and Regenerate Secret buttons are already available. To address this, the Revoke Access Token check has been removed from the validate activity of Client Registration.

Updated handling for MT query of pr_data_admin table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When using a multi-tenant environment with Oracle, as the number of users in the environment increased, the number of queries of the pr_data_admin table "WHERE pyEnableAuthService" increased exponentially and causes system slowness. This was traced to missed handling for the @ character in the authentication service cache while requesting, and has been resolved by updating authservicecache.java.

Re-enabled users are able to log in
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When disabled operators were re-enabled through operator management, the forced password change on next login was manually unchecked but the operators were unable to login because the change password screen was displayed without any password entry fields. This was a missed use case for handling the change password flag on a requestor , and has been resolved by having the system skip setting the change password on next login flag for disabled users.

Certificate updates handled across nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
An SSL handshake exception was occurring when running a Connect-REST call automatically from the flow as a background process on a background processing node. The same Connect-REST worked fine when run manually. The exception detailed the issue as "SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: None of the TrustManagers allowed for trust of the SSL certificate(s) provided by the remote server to which this client attempted a connection." This was traced to a pulse change scenario where the reloading of the certificates was not happening on all the nodes after adding a new certificate or deleting a certificate. This has ben resolved by adding the DATA-ADMIN-SECURITY-CERTIFICATE class into the UpdatesCacheUtils.java class.

Cache key handling updated for OAuth2 Connect-REST
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade, a Connect-REST using OAuth2 credentials was failing with HTTP response code 403 when the Connect-REST was invoked by the agent, but the Connect-REST was successfully invoked from web node with the same Auth profile. OAuth2 tokens are stored in the cache and database. In this specific environment the key formation was happening differently on the utility node for batch processes, causing different keys to be formed for the same token. This has been resolved by adding a provider filter and updating the cache key.
