Resolved null-pointer exception for Token based Authenticated Rest
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When logging in with auth0 OIDC auth service and then trying to use connect-Rest with an authentication profile using an auth0 provider, a null pointer error was generated indicating connect-Rest could not find the Access token. Even thought the Authentication service (OIDC) and authentication profile (authorization grant) both had the same scopes (“openid profile email”), OIDC flow and authentication profile save the Access Token with different scopes. Specifically, OIDC saves the token with an extra trailing space. Handling has been added to correct this.

SameSite cookie setting updated for pre-authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
In work done in previous versions to modify the SameSite cookie handling to support Mashups in Google Chrome v80+, SameSite was set to None only in case of an authenticated Pega-RULES cookie and not for a Pre-authenticated cookie. That caused the Samesite value to not be set when using a pre-authenticated cookie, and the blank value was treated as 'Lax', causing a login challenge. To resolve this, Samesite will be set to 'None' when using pre-authenticated cookie, which will match the way it is being set in authenticated cookie.

SSOPreAuthenticationActivity runs until success
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
When a user visited a public-facing application via a Single Sign-On (SSO) URL that redirected to SAML IDP for authentication, the first time the URL was hit the system correctly executed pySSOPreAuthenticationActivity as part of pre-authentication to determine if authentication is possible/allowed. If the pySSOPreAuthenticationActivity set the pyAuthenticationPolicyResult to 'false', authentication was not allowed: the user was not redirected to the IDP and an error message was shown. However, if the same URL is hit again after that rejection without any changes, the user was redirected to the IDP for authentication because the preauthentication activity was not run again. This has been resolved by updating the system to continue to call the pre-authentication activity for the SSO URL until a success status is returned by the activity.

Enhancement added for tenant-level authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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.

LookUpList correctly executes during SSO login with model operator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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.

Improved Agile Studio passivation recovery
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When an Agile Studio session was passivated, the error "SECU0008 : CSRF Detected and Blocked" was seen. Reactivating the session resulted in a blank page. This was traced to the clearing of requestor level registrations added for that particular thread, and has been resolved by adding a new flag to identify if a thread is passivated along with the necessary structure for the conditionalized clearing of requestor level registrations based on this flag.

URL validation updated to handle custom token endpoints
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
While saving an authentication profile with OAuth details, validation was failing for a valid URL given in the access token endpoint and revoke token endpoint fields. This was traced to the use of the Apache URL validator, which considered some domains to be invalid. To resolve this, the urlvalidator constructor has been updated to include a custom RegexValidator for access token and refresh token URLs.
