OIDC authentication service token reload updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
The exception “PRSecurityException: Invalid State Parameter received" was generated along with "Unable to execute OIDC flow : Caught exception while parsing the id token”. The issue was identified in the Keystore cache refresh strategy for the 'reload once per interaction' option. While the Refresh interval was one minute for reload once per interaction, if there was a login request/keystore request in that one minute then the refresh interval was pushed to one minute again from that timestamp. The system was also maintaining the cache refresh interval as one minute. That meant if there were continuous requests, then the refresh interval was pushed to one minute for each request. As a result, the Refresh interval was repeatedly extended until the exception occurred. To resolve this, the Refresh token will happen if there are no requests for a period of one minute, and the cache refresh interval for "Reload once per iteration" has been removed completely.

Client secret made optional for JWT Bearer Grant type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After update, trying to connect a REST API using OpenAM as the provider for OAuth and using JWT Bearer as Grant type was resulting in an error indicating the request was not reaching the destination. This was traced to the client secret being designated a mandatory field when it should be optional in this case as the required key store was already configured with a JWT token profile. To resolve this, an update has been made which will make the client secret optional when the authentication scheme is JWT Bearer. In addition, the blank value caused a null pointer error when the client secret was not passed. This has been handled with a check.

Signature map updated for fetching keys
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
MFA login worked with SAML 2.0 when the certificate was disabled but failed when the certificate was enabled in Auth Service. The error " "Signature algorithm is null" appeared. This has been resolved by updating the signature map to ignore case sensitivity while fetching keys.
