UPDATE IMPACT FOR PEGA CALL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Log4j-1.2.14.jar and Log4j-1.2.17.jar have been removed to address the security concerns with these versions, and logger jars have been upgraded to 12.7.2 version (from 12.7.1 version) to make Pega Call compatible. This change will impact Pega Call customer environments due to Avaya or Genesys, which are part of Pega Call, having an internal dependency on Log4j1.x version jars. As a result, the SDK logging for Avaya or Genesys will not be available in the 8.7.3 release unless the Log4j-1.x jar files are reimported locally.

Refined accessgrouplist checks
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
Following a system modification that changed the property used to populate the access groups list to match that on clipboard (correct value), a previously unseen issue was uncovered where all the division and organization AGs were being added to the list. This has been addressed by updating the code to add the applications on division and organization only when there is no default selected at the operator. If there is some application selected as default at the operator, then the division or organization applications will not be added. If there is nothing selected at operator, then a check for division will be made, and if there is nothing selected at division then organization will be checked.

Enhancement to support external delegated authentication via custom authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
OAuth 2.0 configuration has been embedded into the HC mobile app to provide an infrastructure for REST services to be authenticated by an external token which has been issued by third party identity provider. When Pega receives a token, it then contacts the identity provider's token introspection and userinfo endpoint to validate the token and subsequently establish an identity. The new authentication activity has been shipped with the name 'pyPerformDelegatedAuthentication' that can be attached to any Authentication service data instance.
