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.

Enhancement added for tenant-level authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
In a multi-tenant PDC with a few tenants that utilize their own custom SSO, a pre-authentication activity inside a tenant that should block community access was also affecting tenants that did not have that pre-auth activity set. This was a missed use case and has been resolved by adding a tenantId hash in SchemePRAuth.makeUniqueSchemeName() to create the authServiceName.

Authorization token handling and cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
When using a mobile app configured with default authentication, clicking on the "Trouble logging in?" link opened a new window and displayed the message "please contact your system administrator" along with the error "Only authenticated client may start this activity: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY CODE-SECURITY PZGETAUTHORIZATIONCODE". This has been resolved. In addition, the OAuth token generation and handling has been improved, and the purge agent has been updated to accept a DSS setting for the max number of expired records to purge each time it is run. The default value is 5000.

LookUpList correctly executes during SSO login with model operator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
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.
