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.

Improved Agile Studio passivation recovery
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When an Agile Studio session was passivated, the error "SECU0008 : CSRF Detected and Blocked" was seen. Reactivating the session resulted in a blank page. This was traced to the clearing of requestor level registrations added for that particular thread, and has been resolved by adding a new flag to identify if a thread is passivated along with the necessary structure for the conditionalized clearing of requestor level registrations based on this flag.

Check added for allowed editing with CSRF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After enabling CSRF, it was not possible to edit a data table used to define ACL rules due to security preventing the adding/editing of rows and user group entitlements. This has been resolved by using browser FingerPrint validation to check whether an activity is in a secured list and skipping validation for allowed activities.

Collaboration control hidden if data type is delegated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When collaborating using a customized CaseManager portal with some delegated data types, the admin user refreshing the Data Type view changed the collaborator's view from the portal to show the Data Type tabs, allowing the second person to open rules (properties, Data Pages, etc) and see the configuration even though they could not make any changes. This has been resolved by updating pzDataTypeDelegated to display the collaboration control only if pzDelegation is false.

Filtering added for DisableDormantOperators
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
When running the Disable Dormant Operators agent, many operators were seen which were dormant but not disabled. Investigation showed the activity was fetching all of the operators without filtering the deactivation state. This has been resolved by adding a filter condition in pzDisableDormantOperators to fetch only deactivate state users.

Keystore update properly revises the cache
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
A keystore updated with the latest certificate was not getting reflected in the runtime and the old certificate was getting picked. In a multi-node environment when the new JKS is uploaded in one node, the changes are expected to be communicated to other nodes so that the cache can be cleaned up. In this case, investigation showed that the keystore label was in uppercase and the cache entry was not correctly removed. This has been resolved by adding an update that will convert the cache key to lowercase and maintain uniformity to ensure proper cleanup.

Basic Access Control (BAC) now available in production level 2+
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.
