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.

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.
