Requestor token creation added for PRExternal authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When using a PRExternal authentication scheme, the csrfsession requestor token was not created. This caused a heavy volume of INFO logging messages in production due to the null token. This authentication path has now been added and the token will be correctly created for use.

Improved performance for incorrect password handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When the operator entered the wrong password in the login screen, numerous "Stream Overwritten" alerts appeared the Alert log. There was no workflow problem involved, but the logging indicated that there was an additional unnecessary call being made to Stream Web-Login, and that unneeded call has been removed to improve system performance and remove the error being logged.

Corrected validation error for Extract rule field length
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
A validation error noting that the field length of the table was limited to 30 characters was occurring when trying to check in an Extract rule even if the field value had been shortened. While checking in the extract rule, a block of code in the Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties was recomputing the pagelist's table name instead of using the one provided by the user. The Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties function has been modified to fix the issue.

Added handling for clustered index on the pr4_rule table during migration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When attempting to migrate the rules schema to RULES85 and temp data schema DATA85, the upgrade was becoming stuck in a loop while working to generate declarative indexes for Rule-HTML-Paragraph. Investigation showed the infinite looping happened only for classes mapped to the pr4_rule and with instance count of more than (num of threads * batch size). This was due to the presence of a clustered index on the pr4_rule table causing the resultset to return an infinite number of records in SQLServer, and has been resolved with an update to leverage the total record count to iterate the resultset instead of depending on the resultset.next().

Handling added for Oracle "NUMERIC" type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a product rule was created in an environment using Oracle, importing the product into the cloud environment with database table schema changes resulted in errors. This was traced to a change in Oracle's JDBC driver which was reporting Number as a JDBC "NUMERIC" type instead of the previous "DECIMAL". Pega uses the NUMBER data type and expected a type=DECIMAL for an Oracle number, causing the errors. This has been resolved by adding a check for flex numbers if column is NUMERIC.

Resolved SSO logout error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After configuring prconfig/initialization/Urlencryption/default -> true and prconfig/initialization/SubmitObfuscatedURL/default -> required, logging in to any portal using SSO resulted in a 400 error when trying to log out. This has been resolved by adding a call to the encryption Rule-Utility-Function while calling logoff activity from 'pzSingleLogoutServiceRedirectV2'.

Ruleset creation process updated to maintain thread scope
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
On creating a ruleset, the system generated the error "There has been an issue. Please consult your system administrator." If browser cookies and site settings were cleared and the browser was relaunched before logging in and creating a ruleset, the issue did not occur. Investigation showed that the Application page was at the Requestor scope for some of the threads due to handling in the ruleset creation process that removed the Application page and recreated it in the default scope of the thread with the latest state. To resolve this, the process for deleting the Application page and recreating it on the Requestor page has been removed.

at+jwt header type support added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After upgrading from Pega 7 to Pega 8, using JWT validation in the REST service package with type "at+jwt" resulted in the JSON web token being rejected during signature verification with the error "header "typ" (type) "at+jwt" not allowed". Pega uses the third-party Nimbus jar to generate and verify JWT tokens, and this issue was traced to a difference in the versions of that jar: Pega 7.3 uses the nimbus-jose-jwt 5.1 version jar, while Pega 8.6+ uses the 8.20 jar version. Nimbus rejects at+jwt header types by default from the 8.0 jar version. To resolve this and improve backwards compatibility, at+jwt header type support has been added.

SMTPPort parameter will be passed to ForgotPasswordUtil
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a user triggered the "Trouble Signing in" function, the SentEmailNotification activity connection was trying to use port 25 even if the SMTP Port was configured as 587 in the Email Account instance. This was due to the SMTP Port not being passed to the SentEmailNotification activity, causing a fallback to port 25 for non-SSL connections. In order to ensure SendEmailNotification uses a specified port if configured, pySMTPPort will be passed to ForgotPasswordUtil.java.
