SSLContext created using protocol from REST connector rule form
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After upgrading to IBM websphere v9.0.5.6 or higher, API calls Like REST, Connect-HTTP etc were failing to connect to endpoints using TLSv1.2. Investigation showed that although the connector was configured to send TLSv1.2, the ClientHello handshake was triggered for TLSv1.3. Because the SSLContext was created with highest version supported by protocol in the WAS container, this has been resolved by modifying the code to create SSLContext based on the the protocol selected in the REST connector rule form. Additionally, please note that the Connect-HTTP connector has been deprecated and the Connect-REST capabilities in the platform should be used instead.

LookUpList correctly executes during SSO login with model operator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.1
After configuring SSO to create operators on fly using a model operator, a new user logging in for the very first time had their operator ID created using the model operator, but after update new users logging in to the system received the error "Only authenticated client may start this activity: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS LOOKUPLIST". This was due to the methods used for additional security on the activity @baseclass LookUpList which allows it to only be run by authenticated users, and has been resolved.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
An enhancement has been added to enable the Basic Access Control (BAC) feature for production levels 2 or greater. This is a change from being available previously only in levels 4 and 5, and will facilitate diagnosing access control issues earlier in the development process.

SAML datapages cleared before new authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
If a previous user had not logged out or timed out when using SAML authentication, a second person using the same device/browser would end up in the first user's session after performing their own authentication. Investigation showed the second login D_SAMLAssertionDataPage was not getting refreshed with the current user login details; this has been resolved by explicitly deleting the SAML Datapages before processing a new login if the session has not timed out.

Performance improvement for offline mobile app
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
Performance issues on an offline mobile app were traced to an empty browser fingerprint caused by a declared variable which was not assigned a value. This has been resolved by adding a !pega.offline check for fireDeferredAsyncRequests.

Locking APIs updated to handle CDK key rotation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
it was not possible to save cases for several hours following the CDK key rotation. This was traced to an exception that caused the system to attempt to acquire a lock on the CDK key instance, and normal save behavior would resume after the default sys lock time out period expired. This has been resolved by updating the system to use LockManager APIs to perform a database save with locks.

Updating handling for for Pega-supplied operators with MFA
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
When a site is blocking prweb and using prweb/PRAuth for login with MFA enabled, admin user id logins failed and MFA showed the error screen for Pega-supplied users. This was due to MFA verification not being configured for Pega-supplied operators, and has been resolved by adding an Adminstrator condition to skip MFA for for Pega-supplied operators.
