Resolved 400 error on second browser session
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
When accessing application URLs in two tabs of a browser window, logging into the second session was throwing a 400 invalid request. This has been resolved by adding specified activities to an allow list which will bypass URLObfuscation in un-authenticated mode. Non-listed activities will be processed using URLObfuscation if it is enabled.

Added handling for password containing a colon on Pega Client for Windows
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
If a password included a colon (:), it was possible to log in on the desktop but not Pega Client for Windows. This was due to authentication files specific to the Windows mobility client, and handling has been added to resolve the issue.

Updated handling for MT query of pr_data_admin table
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
When using a multi-tenant environment with Oracle, as the number of users in the environment increased, the number of queries of the pr_data_admin table "WHERE pyEnableAuthService" increased exponentially and causes system slowness. This was traced to missed handling for the @ character in the authentication service cache while requesting, and has been resolved by updating authservicecache.java.

Property check handling updated for Ajax requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
SECU0001 alerts were seen when submitting a case in the interaction portal. Logging indicated the errors were related to the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties which are included in an Ajax request when they exist in the DOM and the 'pyGeolocationTrackingIsEnabled' when rule is true. The error was traced to a condition where a new thread request results in an unexpected property check that encounters a clipboard which doesn't have any pages created for that thread. To resolve this, the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties have been added to an allow list to handle the unexpected properties check.

PRTraceServlet security check added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.8
Modifying the Pega application URL with PRTraceServlet displayed multiple user credentials and session information. This has been corrected with the addition of a privilege check in GetConnectionListCommand before allowing the connections list to be fetched.

Certificate updates handled across nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
An SSL handshake exception was occurring when running a Connect-REST call automatically from the flow as a background process on a background processing node. The same Connect-REST worked fine when run manually. The exception detailed the issue as "SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertificateException: None of the TrustManagers allowed for trust of the SSL certificate(s) provided by the remote server to which this client attempted a connection." This was traced to a pulse change scenario where the reloading of the certificates was not happening on all the nodes after adding a new certificate or deleting a certificate. This has ben resolved by adding the DATA-ADMIN-SECURITY-CERTIFICATE class into the UpdatesCacheUtils.java class.

Null check added for step page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.5
After creating and adding new Access Roles and application 'Access When' to the privileges instead of Production level, during run time the error "runtime.IndeterminateConditionalException: Trying to evaluate Rule-Access-When conditions L:IsProdAccess when there is no page to evaluate them against" appeared for the specific privileges. This was traced to a missed use case where the system falls back to the step page if the page for evaluating the 'when' condition is null, which did not account for scenarios where the step page can be null. To resolve this, a null check has been added which will fetch the primary page if the step page for the access 'when' condition is null.
