Oauth tokens obtained on login timeout
Resolved in Pega Version 7.4
When the client idle time expires, the user must perform a login in order to get back into the application. If OAuth is being used for authentication there is no need to re-send the credentials to NetIQ if neither the refresh token nor access token are expired yet, but the hybrid client was repeating the ROPC flow and obtaining a new refresh token each time the user logged in after the client idle timeout expires. With this change, the tokens are obtained on login timeout. There will be a further update targeted for the next release to show the lock screen and not log the user out.

Updated cache key generation for ROPC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
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.

Corrected report definition save-as-image option
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Attempting to save a report definition as an image resulted in an access denied error stating "Browser fingerprint validation failed : A request was received with an invalid or missing browser fingerprint. The request was denied", and the user session was closed. The security SECU0017 alert is generated when a request is sent to a Pega application and the browser fingerprint is either missing or does not match the expected value. The system tries to check the type of request for every requestor ID and fetch the CSRF token, but in this case it was not matching with the token present on the requestor thread. This has been resolved by adding scripts to send the hidden input value needed.
