Filtering added for DisableDormantOperators
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When running the Disable Dormant Operators agent, many operators were seen which were dormant but not disabled. Investigation showed the activity was fetching all of the operators without filtering the deactivation state. This has been resolved by adding a filter condition in pzDisableDormantOperators to fetch only deactivate state users.

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.

Locking APIs updated to handle CDK key rotation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
It was not possible to save cases for several hours following the CDK key rotation. This was traced to an exception that caused the system to attempt to acquire a lock on the CDK key instance, and normal save behavior would resume after the default sys lock time out period expired. This has been resolved by updating the system to use LockManager APIs to perform a database save with locks.

Keystore update properly revises the cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
A keystore updated with the latest certificate was not getting reflected in the runtime and the old certificate was getting picked. In a multi-node environment when the new JKS is uploaded in one node, the changes are expected to be communicated to other nodes so that the cache can be cleaned up. In this case, investigation showed that the keystore label was in uppercase and the cache entry was not correctly removed. This has been resolved by adding an update that will convert the cache key to lowercase and maintain uniformity to ensure proper cleanup.

When a site is blocking prweb and using prweb/PRAuth for login with MFA enabled, admin user id logins failed and MFA showed the error screen for Pega-supplied users. This was due to MFA verification not being configured for Pega-supplied operators, and has been resolved by adding an Adminstrator condition to skip MFA for for Pega-supplied operators.

DSS DisableAutoComplete setting honored
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Setting DisableAutoComplete DSS was not working as expected. This was traced to the system not being able to read the DSS value due to timing related to database startup, and has been resolved by directing the system to read the setting in PREnvironment.java instead of from the prconfig.

Improvements for Report Definition OperatorID filtering
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Report Definition filters were not working as expected when data from the OperatorID page was used and authentication was enabled. This was traced to the OperatorID page not being correctly populated. To resolve this, the authentication logic has been modified to always create the OperatorID page at requestor level, and the HTTP API layer has been updated to remove the thread level OperatorID page if exists. In addition, an enhancement has been added for improved debugging on log appenders provided by log4j which allows log filtering based on the requestor and thread for a given appender at a specific log level.
