Updated handling for MT query of pr_data_admin table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
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.

Property check handling updated for Ajax requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
SECU0001 alerts were seen when submitting a case in the interaction portal. Logging indicated the errors were related to the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties which are included in an Ajax request when they exist in the DOM and the 'pyGeolocationTrackingIsEnabled' when rule is true. The error was traced to a condition where a new thread request results in an unexpected property check that encounters a clipboard which doesn't have any pages created for that thread. To resolve this, the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties have been added to an allow list to handle the unexpected properties check.

Resolved buffer overflow for Migration loadDatabase
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
A Rules upgrade failed in the Migration step at loadDatabase stage, involving the move of all the table records from old schema to new schema. This was traced to the inability of Migration to load blob of sizes more than 100 MB, and has been resolved by updating Migration to use byte[] to read the blob content with the help of metadata that contains blob length.

TableRenameUtil hashing improved

Support added for multi-operator SAML logins
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When a SAML user is logged in by Single Sign-On (SAML), the system processes the login to portal as a different operator if there was a function on the Attribute field under Operator identification in the SAML authentication service. In this scenario, using an expression for operator provisioning did not work because all SAML login sessions resolved to the same first operator due to parseAndEvaluateExpression() in ExpressionHelper.java ignoring new expression arguments if the expression page already existed. To support the use of multiple operator logins in this format, the system has been updated to clone a new expression page for every session and update it with the correct expression arguments.

HTTPS login path issue resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When using iOS, entering wrong credentials for a login with an https endpoint converted the URL to http. This was traced to a case where the resourcePath was coming as http in SSL enabled system, but the reqURI was still https. To correct this, the system has been updated so that if the reqContextURI starts with https and the requestURL starts with http, then the requestURL will be converted to https.

Uploaded attachments will receive a unique name to prevent overwriting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
An issue with an incorrect file being attached to a work object was traced to overlapping processes. When files are uploaded, they are first saved to common HDD directory and then read into memory and deleted from the HDD area. Files will overwrite other file carrying the same name, which is a problem if the first file is not completely uploaded and is waiting in the common directory and some other file with the same name is uploaded on top of it. To resolve this, an update has been made to ensure file names are appended with a unique identifier to distinguish between files carrying the same names and keep them from overwriting each other.
