SSLContext created using protocol from REST connector rule form
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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.

OAuth token refreshed when revoked on source
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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.

Guided Tour working from Actions menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After updating from Pega 8.4 to Pega 8.5, "Manage a Guided Tour" was no longer working under a local action when called from the Actions menu on a work object. An unspecified error message appeared in the tracer. Investigation showed there was a null pointer error caused by the menu being invoked on an invalid page, and this was traced to updated authentication requirements: registration at the portal is not reliable as it is thread-scoped and run only once. The thread name is not guaranteed to stay the same so subsequent invocations of the tour activities failed. This has been resolved by modifying the call registration function to handle the security issues related to the generation of the menu path.

LookUpList correctly executes during SSO login with model operator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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 upgrade 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 SSO logout error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After configuring prconfig/initialization/Urlencryption/default -> true and prconfig/initialization/SubmitObfuscatedURL/default -> required, logging in to any portal using SSO resulted in a 400 error when trying to log out. This has been resolved by adding a call to the encryption Rule-Utility-Function while calling logoff activity from 'pzSingleLogoutServiceRedirectV2'.

Ruleset creation process updated to maintain thread scope
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
On creating a ruleset, the system generated the error "There has been an issue. Please consult your system administrator." If browser cookies and site settings were cleared and the browser was relaunched before logging in and creating a ruleset, the issue did not occur. Investigation showed that the Application page was at the Requestor scope for some of the threads due to handling in the ruleset creation process that removed the Application page and recreated it in the default scope of the thread with the latest state. To resolve this, the process for deleting the Application page and recreating it on the Requestor page has been removed.

at+jwt header type support added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After upgrading from Pega 7 to Pega 8, using JWT validation in the REST service package with type "at+jwt" resulted in the JSON web token being rejected during signature verification with the error "header "typ" (type) "at+jwt" not allowed". Pega uses the third-party Nimbus jar to generate and verify JWT tokens, and this issue was traced to a difference in the versions of that jar: Pega 7.3 uses the nimbus-jose-jwt 5.1 version jar, while Pega 8.6+ uses the 8.20 jar version. Nimbus rejects at+jwt header types by default from the 8.0 jar version. To resolve this and improve backwards compatibility, at+jwt header type support has been added.

SMTPPort parameter will be passed to ForgotPasswordUtil
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a user triggered the "Trouble Signing in" function, the SentEmailNotification activity connection was trying to use port 25 even if the SMTP Port was configured as 587 in the Email Account instance. This was due to the SMTP Port not being passed to the SentEmailNotification activity, causing a fallback to port 25 for non-SSL connections. In order to ensure SendEmailNotification uses a specified port if configured, pySMTPPort will be passed to ForgotPasswordUtil.java.
