DSS DisableAutoComplete setting honored
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
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.

Ruleset creation process updated to maintain thread scope
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
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.

UI and code changes to support Client Assertion in Open ID Connect
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.2
In order to support private_key_jwt, an enhancement has been added which will pass the “Client ID” and “Client assertion” (in the form of a signed JWT) as part of the authorization code grant flow for an IDP-initiated SSO. The Authorization Server will then authenticate Pega (the client) to verify the signature and payload of assertion by retrieving the public key via Pega’s JWKS endpoint.
