Key ID made optional for JWT
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After update, Connect-REST services were failing with a Admin_Security_Token.Action error. This was traced to kID (key ID) being mandated following previous work done to address an issue. To resolve this and better support backwards compatibility, the kID has been made optional in the JWT header.

Updated OAuth2 registration handling for modified application definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After update, attempting to resave an application definition after any modification resulted in the error "Application OAuth2 client registration is failed. Error Message: PegaApp_XXBase:Client already exists". This was due to pxCreateRecord being called to create the authentication profile: as it was already present, it failed to create a new one. This has been resolved by changing pxCreateRecord to Obj-Save in this process. This change will only be applied on newly created applications using the Data-Application-OAuth2ClientRegistration instance. The solution for already exported applications is to delete the corresponding OAuth2 client (PegaApp_<application id>) and resave the application to create a new client along with the needed metadata.

Encrypted SOAP response token generation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
After configuring a SOAP service that used signature and encryption on the response, the response being created was incorrect and could not be decrypted by the receiver. Investigation showed that the API used to generate the SOAP headers was not setting the wsse11:TokenType element, causing receivers which enforce BSP compliance to fail. This has been resolved by modifying the custom webservices-rt-pega2 jar to set the token type in the case of a response encryption policy.

Handling added for samesite cookies with httpOnly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
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.

Null checks added for the presence of roles and dependent roles
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
Frequent Null Pointer errors were being generated relating to SecurityAnalysisForSecurityAdministratorsTask.getCurrentSecurityTaskDetails(). Investigation showed that the Origin and Stack trace tabs were empty, leading to the obj-open of the role failing when the role was not available in the system being utilized. This has been resolved by adding a series of null checks for role existence and dependent roles existence.
