Enhancement to support external delegated authentication via custom authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
OAuth 2.0 configuration has been embedded into the HC mobile app to provide an infrastructure for REST services to be authenticated by an external token which has been issued by third party identity provider. When Pega receives a token, it then contacts the identity provider's token introspection and userinfo endpoint to validate the token and subsequently establish an identity. The new authentication activity has been shipped with the name 'pyPerformDelegatedAuthentication' that can be attached to any Authentication service data instance.

Handling added for URL encoding problem
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
A button configured with 'onClick > Open URL in window' had the "?" replaced by "?=%26" in the URL. This was traced to a safeURL bug which encodes '&' in the URL when there is no key=value pair in the request params. To compensate for this, a design time configuration has been added to skip encoding if the system encounters custom URLs with no key=value pairs.

SAML enhancements added with OperatorContext availability fix
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
The activity pyEstablishOperatorContext availability was incorrectly marked as final. This has been fixed and is "Available, Extension". In addition, many other enhancements have been added towards the goal of no-code configuration of SAML SSO authentication. SAML SSO is the most widely used authentication in production, but has historically required complex custom code. Please see the release notes for more information about Single Page UI Configuration and Adaptive Design for Authentication Run-time.
