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.

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.
