SR-D56409 · Issue 520743

URL Encryption and Obfuscation made compatible with site-minder

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

Attempting to install a DL using Hfix Manager worked when not going through SSO but failed when using SSO. Investigation showed that this was due to the use of URLEncryption: URLEncryption uses a Pega-supplied base64 to encode the cipher text with MIME type encoding by default, which adds newline character after every 72 characters. This is not compatible with site-minder. which has policies to restrict newline characters in the URL. As a result, none of the encrypted requests were being processed. To resolve this, post-processing logic has been added to remove newline characters from encoded text. This change has also been applied top URLObfuscation.

SR-D62949 · Issue 527502

XSS protection added

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

The CrossScriptingFilter API has been applied to address a potential XSS issue related to stream rule parameters used in the request header.

SR-D63232 · Issue 524295

Support added for Authentication service rule attributes in embedded pages

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

SSO login was not working, giving the error "Unable to process the SAML WebSSO request : No value specified for Attribute in SAML assertion". Investigation showed the Authentication service rule could only map attributes that are on the top level page and did not consider embedded page values. To resolve this, tools.getProperty will be used to fetch the property reference value instead of find Page and getString.

SR-D63727 · Issue 531726

Authorization header base 64 format error recategorized as debug logging

Resolved in Pega Version 8.4

Numerous messages were generated indicating that the Authorization Header format was invalid when using the format " : " (Base64 Og==) . As this is the default behavior for a particular class of proxy servers, the error statement has been updated to be logged as a debug statement and will be visible only when that logging is enabled.

INC-133214 · Issue 590380

Deployment Manager rollback works for directed inheritance

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

Rollback was not working correctly in Deployment Manager for history classes using directed inheritance. This was traced to a redundant check in AbstractHistoryPageKeeper that enforced the history pages pattern inherited from one of the base history classes, and this has now been removed.

INC-140040 · Issue 597666

Improved handling to ensure circumstanced rules skim is complete

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

After performing a major rule skim, it was noticed that some of the circumstanced rules were not carried over to the higher version. The data was restored and a second skim was attempted. Once again, not all of the circumstanced rules were carried over; however, the results were different than in skim 1. This issue was traced to the circumstanced rule and base rule having the same pxCreateDateTime because they were processed with in a millisecond span. To resolve this, a 1ms explicit sleep has been added before processing each record.

INC-140279 · Issue 597757

JMX logging added to upgrade diagnostics

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

In order to improve diagnostic information, infoForced loggers have been added for debugging upgrade issues related to JMX calls to enable and disable rules creation.

INC-142236 · Issue 595979

Apache Struts updated

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

The Apache struts2-core.jar and its dependencies have been updated to version 2.5.25.

INC-144555 · Issue 603070

Changelog cleanup added for de-optimized properties

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6

Unwanted optimization was automatically added to properties for the Application-Work-Casetype class created using the wizard in the App Studio. Attempts to remove the optimization did not work: the property advance tab was showing the optimized classes details even after deleting and recreating the property. When a property is optimized the system adds entries to pr_changelog for the list of classes it has optimized. When the property was deleted, the pr_changelog was not cleared. This was a missed usecase, and has been resolved by overriding the Cleanup activity at Rule-Obj-Property class to delete the pr_changelog entry associated with that if it is present.
