OAuth token refreshed when revoked on source
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When an OAuth token was used to authorize the APIs in the system, revoking the token at the source, i.e. from the Service side, did not automatically refresh the token and a logoff/logon was required before a fresh token was generated. This has been resolved by adding an update to explicitly purge revoked tokens.

Removed duplicate clipboard page creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
An out of memory exception occurred due to the pyInstanceInfoForUpdate clipboard page having 6.5M Embed-InstanceInfo entries. This was traced to the ClientUpdateRequestHandler.getInstanceInfoPage method continuously appending to the ClipboardProperty instanceInfoPage. This has been resolved by removing the extra creation of instance pages within the loop.

OIDC authentication service token reload updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.
