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.

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.

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.

DSS DisableAutoComplete setting honored
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3

Updated cache key generation for ROPC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.3
After configuring outbound email functionality using MSGraph with OAuth 2.0, sending the emails failed consistently following passivation. Running "Test connectivity" in the Email Account data instance then seemed to restart the functionality and the automation "Create And Send Email" subsequently worked. This was traced to a missing username in the cache key generation for the Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC), which caused the same token to be fetched when attempting to dynamically generate different usernames, and has been resolved.
