Deprecated authentication methods removed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade, attempting to trigger the Pega hosted API externally through Post Man resulted in the exception "The method getAuthenticationService() is undefined for the type OAuth2AccessTokenValidation". This was traced to the use of references to the methods getAuthenticationService() and getAuthenticationServiceType(), which are not in use from v8.5 onwards in pzOAuth2AuthenticationActivity and have now been removed. For OAuth2 authentication, the service package should use authentication type as OAuth2; the system will then take care of validating the token and establishing the operator context.
