Support added for multi-operator SAML logins
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When a SAML user is logged in by Single Sign-On (SAML), the system processes the login to portal as a different operator if there was a function on the Attribute field under Operator identification in the SAML authentication service. In this scenario, using an expression for operator provisioning did not work because all SAML login sessions resolved to the same first operator due to parseAndEvaluateExpression() in ExpressionHelper.java ignoring new expression arguments if the expression page already existed. To support the use of multiple operator logins in this format, the system has been updated to clone a new expression page for every session and update it with the correct expression arguments.

HTTPS login path issue resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.1
When using iOS, entering wrong credentials for a login with an https endpoint converted the URL to http. This was traced to a case where the resourcePath was coming as http in SSL enabled system, but the reqURI was still https. To correct this, the system has been updated so that if the reqContextURI starts with https and the requestURL starts with http, then the requestURL will be converted to https.

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.

Access control policy logic added for non-work/data/assign classes
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
As part of ABAC (Attribute-based access control) restrictions, if a class property was of type PageList, security had to be created in the PageList property class type. However, if the pagelist was of type "Embed-" class then it was not possible to create security policy due to the inability to apply property masking for page list properties of that class. To resolve this, property masking implementation logic has been added to support page list properties of non-work/data/assign classes for access control policies.

Handling added for absent property in Access When
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
Configuring Access Control Policy to automatically restrict access to certain records by including an Access When rule to compare a custom property (.Consultant) on the OperatorID (Data-Admin-Operator-ID) page generated an exception if that property did not actually exist on the current operator. This has been resolved by revising the security policy engine to handle the exception.

IDP Encrypted connections working on SAML
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
IDP initiated SAML 2.0 was not working, and generated the error "Unable to process the SAML WebSSO request : Missing Relaystate information in IDP Response". Authentication worked fine with unencrypted SAML token. This schema validation failure happened because encrypted attributes were previously being ignored by Pega due to an issue in the underlying openSAML library. To resolve this, a custom PegaSAMLValidator has been inserted to validate the assertion and honor encrypted attributes.

RARO rules more secure against deletion
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3.1
In order to make RARO rules more secure, the system has been updated such that Class Permissions can't be deleted from the role unless the operator has permission and is operating in a valid context (unlocked ruleset). This has been done by revising the Role rule form to disable the delete button when RARO/RADO is in a locked ruleset.
