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.

Null check added for step page
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
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.

Improved disconnected requestor cleanup for FieldService
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.6
A large number of requestors from FieldService with the status as 'Disconnected' were accumulating and causing performance issues. This was traced to the requestors not getting passivated due to users not logging out and new requestors being created for the same users next time, and was caused by the value of the DSS Initialization/PersistRequestor being set as "OnTimeout". When the DSS prconfig/timeout/browser/default is not configured, the default browser requestor timeout is 60 minutes. In this scenario, requestors were not passivating as the requestor passivation timeout was set to the refresh token lifetime for mobile users, which was very large and overwrote the DSS value. This has been resolved by removing the code which set the passivation timeout to the OAuth2 refresh token lifetime.

Resolved SSO logout error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After configuring prconfig/initialization/Urlencryption/default -> true and prconfig/initialization/SubmitObfuscatedURL/default -> required, logging in to any portal using SSO resulted in a 400 error when trying to log out. This has been resolved by adding a call to the encryption Rule-Utility-Function while calling logoff activity from 'pzSingleLogoutServiceRedirectV2'.

Ruleset creation process updated to maintain thread scope
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
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.

at+jwt header type support added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After upgrading from Pega 7 to Pega 8, using JWT validation in the REST service package with type "at+jwt" resulted in the JSON web token being rejected during signature verification with the error "header "typ" (type) "at+jwt" not allowed". Pega uses the third-party Nimbus jar to generate and verify JWT tokens, and this issue was traced to a difference in the versions of that jar: Pega 7.3 uses the nimbus-jose-jwt 5.1 version jar, while Pega 8.6+ uses the 8.20 jar version. Nimbus rejects at+jwt header types by default from the 8.0 jar version. To resolve this and improve backwards compatibility, at+jwt header type support has been added.

SMTPPort parameter will be passed to ForgotPasswordUtil
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
When a user triggered the "Trouble Signing in" function, the SentEmailNotification activity connection was trying to use port 25 even if the SMTP Port was configured as 587 in the Email Account instance. This was due to the SMTP Port not being passed to the SentEmailNotification activity, causing a fallback to port 25 for non-SSL connections. In order to ensure SendEmailNotification uses a specified port if configured, pySMTPPort will be passed to ForgotPasswordUtil.java.

Key ID made optional for JWT
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.5
After update, Connect-REST services were failing with a Admin_Security_Token.Action error. This was traced to kID (key ID) being mandated following previous work done to address an issue. To resolve this and better support backwards compatibility, the kID has been made optional in the JWT header.
