Requestor token creation added for PRExternal authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When using a PRExternal authentication scheme, the csrfsession requestor token was not created. This caused a heavy volume of INFO logging messages in production due to the null token. This authentication path has now been added and the token will be correctly created for use.

Improved performance for incorrect password handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When the operator entered the wrong password in the login screen, numerous "Stream Overwritten" alerts appeared the Alert log. There was no workflow problem involved, but the logging indicated that there was an additional unnecessary call being made to Stream Web-Login, and that unneeded call has been removed to improve system performance and remove the error being logged.

Corrected validation error for Extract rule field length
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
A validation error noting that the field length of the table was limited to 30 characters was occurring when trying to check in an Extract rule even if the field value had been shortened. While checking in the extract rule, a block of code in the Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties was recomputing the pagelist's table name instead of using the one provided by the user. The Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties function has been modified to fix the issue.

OKTA receives parameters on logout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using an OIDC logout endpoint with a parameter set as a data page value, the data page retrieved the ID Token from the DB, but when logout was clicked the datapage name was being displayed in the browser instead of the IDToken. To resolve this, code has been added to support sending ID token parameters for logoff endpoint for OKTA logoff using OpeniD connect.

Port validation updated for redirect URI
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When an offline app for windows client was generated, trying to login via SSO resulted in the error "invalid redirect_uri". This was traced to the system validating the whole loopback redirection URL, e.g. "http://127.0.0.1:1234/redirection", including the port number. To enhance flexibility, an update has been made so that the port number will not be validated, allowing the client to establish it based on availability at the moment of the request to the authorization service. NOTE: As a best practice, a loopback URL should not be configured as a redirect URI. If a loopback URL is configured, then at run time the port number will not be validated, and the client application can use any available port on the system including ports that may not be intended for use.

Updated cache key generation for ROPC
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
After configuring outbound email functionality using MSGraph with OAuth 2.0, sending the emails failed consistently following passivation. Running "Test connectivity" in the Email Account data instance then seemed to restart the functionality and the automation "Create And Send Email" subsequently worked. This was traced to a missing username in the cache key generation for the Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC), which caused the same token to be fetched when attempting to dynamically generate different usernames, and has been resolved.

Corrected report definition save-as-image option
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Attempting to save a report definition as an image resulted in an access denied error stating "Browser fingerprint validation failed : A request was received with an invalid or missing browser fingerprint. The request was denied", and the user session was closed. The security SECU0017 alert is generated when a request is sent to a Pega application and the browser fingerprint is either missing or does not match the expected value. The system tries to check the type of request for every requestor ID and fetch the CSRF token, but in this case it was not matching with the token present on the requestor thread. This has been resolved by adding scripts to send the hidden input value needed.

Ruleset creation process updated to maintain thread scope
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
On creating a ruleset, the system generated the error "There has been an issue. Please consult your system administrator." If browser cookies and site settings were cleared and the browser was relaunched before logging in and creating a ruleset, the issue did not occur. Investigation showed that the Application page was at the Requestor scope for some of the threads due to handling in the ruleset creation process that removed the Application page and recreated it in the default scope of the thread with the latest state. To resolve this, the process for deleting the Application page and recreating it on the Requestor page has been removed.
