Client secret made optional for JWT Bearer Grant type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After update, trying to connect a REST API using OpenAM as the provider for OAuth and using JWT Bearer as Grant type was resulting in an error indicating the request was not reaching the destination. This was traced to the client secret being designated a mandatory field when it should be optional in this case as the required key store was already configured with a JWT token profile. To resolve this, an update has been made which will make the client secret optional when the authentication scheme is JWT Bearer. In addition, the blank value caused a null pointer error when the client secret was not passed. This has been handled with a check.

Signature map updated for fetching keys
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
MFA login worked with SAML 2.0 when the certificate was disabled but failed when the certificate was enabled in Auth Service. The error " "Signature algorithm is null" appeared. This has been resolved by updating the signature map to ignore case sensitivity while fetching keys.

Global obfuscation key initialized on first requestor call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
When using URLEncryption = true and SubmitObfuscatedURL = optional, attempting to export an Excel spreadsheet resulted in the error "Invalid character found in the request target". This was traced to the variable pega.d.globalobfuscateKey having a null value which was then converted to a byte array and decoded, generating improper characters in the URL. After a browser refresh, the correct value was set in pega.d.globalobfuscateKey and the export worked as expected. To resolve this, an update has been made to initialize the key on the very first call in PRRequestorImpl when the global obfuscation key is determined to be NULL instead of initializing the global obfuscation key by on-demand basis from HTTPAPI.

RDA support added for Citrix XenApp
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
Robot Runtime was not working in a Citrix XenApp environment when using the JWT token generated by the D_pxRoboticJWTToken data page to identify the user. This has been resolved by updating the scope of the datapage D_pxRoboticJWTToken from node level to requestor, which will allow the user information in the JWT token to be passed to the routing service and support the use of RDA in Citrix environments.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6

Filtering added for DisableDormantOperators
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.

SAML datapages cleared before new authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
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.
