Security policy transaction mismatch error resolved
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If security policies are enabled, logging out and then logging in prompts a password change. If the password was changed and then the page was refreshed, a transaction mismatch error occurred. This was caused by incomplete clearing of the password setting transaction, and the system has been updated to properly switch transactions.

Added handling for unauthenticated asynchronous SOAP service
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After implementing changes to work around an error with SOAP authentication, the unauthenticated asynchronous SOAP service generated an error and failed to complete. This was due to the changes to the authentication process omitting the asynchronous mode case when a SOAP service that intended to not use authentication ends up calling a sub-activity that requires authentication. This use case is now covered.

Added fallback keyinfo handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When a SAML assertion response is received in the authentication activity, an error indicated the KeyInfo was missing in the signature. This was caused by a lack of redundancy in the keyinfo handling that caused an exception when keyinfo was not included in the SAML response. Support has now been added to check the certificate in the truststore where the certificate from IDP metadata would have been imported, and there is an added null check in the debug logs.

Create KeyRing updated for split schema
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
If a command line script is configured (viz. keyringGen.sh) to encrypt user passwords for prconfig.xml databases using Keyring utility, a prconfig.xml could have three database entries but the keyring tool only prompted for two databases and did not allow encrypting password for the user for the third database. The prconfig.xml file requires very specific location information to run: to resolve this, the variables to hold schema name in case of split schema configuration have been added.

Corrected SAML SSO error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After opening a case from the Pega-FCM portal or after logging in from SSO, closing the Pega window and opening it again resulted in the error "Unable to process the SAML WebSSO request : Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint %27pr_data_saml_requestor_PK%27. Cannot insert duplicate key in object". This was a missed use case that happens only under the old SAML configuration, and has been resolved by removing a when condition that checks for stepstatus fail for the pySAMLwebSSOAuthentication activity.

CSRF and Browser fingerprint tokens added for testing custom scripts
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, the test window appeared blank when attempting to test Decision Table rules. This was traced to there not being CSRF token and Browser fingerprint handling in the custom script used to show a prompt screen to the user. Because the CSRF token validation was missing, the request failed. To resolve this, CSRF and Browser fingerprint tokens have been added as hidden fields.
