Proxy configurations made available to OAuth2 and other clients
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
Setting up Proxy for the REST Connector was not working when using OAuth2. When using OAuth2 authorization for Connector features including REST Connectors, the com.pega.pegarules.integration.engine.internal.client.oauth2.OAuth2ClientImpl class is used for connections to the OAuth2 Provider for interactions such as fetching authorization tokens. However, OAuth2ClientImpl does not have the required code for "picking up" the JVM-level proxy settings and applying them to the HTTP Client it uses, so the HTTP calls to the OAuth2 provider were always bypassing the configured HTTP proxy. In order to resolve this and enhance future use, the code in the RESTConnector module that allows REST Connectors to use HTTP Proxies has been extracted out into the "HTTPClientUtils" module so that it can be used by any consumer to apply the system's Proxy configuration to any instance of PegaRESTClient. OAuth2ClientImpl has been updated to call this during HTTP client setup, prior to making the request for data from OAuth2 Providers, and RESTConnnector has been updated to call this new implementation to replace the universal Proxy code that was refactored out of it.

Localization added for field value used in 'Enter a Short Description' validation message
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
Localization was failing for the 'Enter a Short Description' validation message when using a Field Value due to the message rule containing spaces. To fix this, a new message rule has been created without spaces in the same ruleset so that it is available for override use in the ruleset.

Password set removed from Lock and Roll tool
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
The way the Lock and Roll tool set passwords was confusing and often caused a new application to be created with the wrong password, preventing updating the new rule or even requiring administrators to manually create the application rules. To resolve this, pzLPLockAndRollApplication has been changed to remove the setting of pySetPassword and pySetPasswordConfirmText so the values will be empty for the new version.

Added security check when running out-of-the-box reports with ShowSelectorView
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
A security issue was found where non-authorized users were able to access the out-of-the-box report details in their portal by manipulating the URL to pass a "short-cut" parameter that executed the Final "ShowSelectorView" activity. To avoid the need to set the explicit privileges manually, the ShowSelectorView activity will call a security check to prevent this.

Updated SSO operator authentication handling after passivation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
With SSO enabled and the pyAccessGroupsAdditional value list populated with the Mapping tab, attempting to access an expired session with an old cookie resulted in a stale thread exception while mapping value list attributes. This was due to using an AuthServicePage which was created by another session thread that had become stale for current session, and has been resolved by updating the code to call the authenticateoperator method on the authservicepage copy.

CDK key loading modified for better database compatibility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
Users were unable to log on to the system and received the error "There has been an issue; please consult your system administrator." Investigation showed the log errors stating "(dataencryption.DataKeyProvider) ERROR localhost - Could not get CDK from systemKeyManagementCache - System CDK is null". This was an issue specific to the MS SQL Server database when there were 6 or more CDKs in the database: CDK keys are loaded from database into Cache using an SQL statement which had the ORDER clause. By default, the ORDER clause treats NULL values differently on different databases, and this caused MS SQL databases to not load a necessary CDK key. To resolve this, the SQL query has been modified so the result will be the same for all supported daatbases (Oracle, Postgres & MS SQL Server).

Handling added for samesite cookies with httpOnly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.9
After enabling samesite cookies on Google Chrome to support Mashup login, intermittent issues were seen with a non-mashup login where entering the OperatorID and password only resulted in a refresh of the login screen. This was traced to a scenario where an httponly cookie attribute was present along with samesite cookie attributes, and has been resolved by adding handling for a condition where samesite is set and httpOnly is enabled.
