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.

Global obfuscation key initialized on first requestor call
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
When using URLEncryption = true and SubmitObfuscatedURL = optional, attempting to export an Excel spreadsheet resulted in the error "Invalid character found in the request target". This was traced to the variable pega.d.globalobfuscateKey having a null value which was then converted to a byte array and decoded, generating improper characters in the URL. After a browser refresh, the correct value was set in pega.d.globalobfuscateKey and the export worked as expected. To resolve this, an update has been made to initialize the key on the very first call in PRRequestorImpl when the global obfuscation key is determined to be NULL instead of initializing the global obfuscation key by on-demand basis from HTTPAPI.

Added security tokens to Worklist assignment error wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.4
After enabling CSRF, moving to 'Configure -> Case Management -> Tools -> Work Admin -> Worklist assignment errors' and then selecting a record and clicking on 'Delete' resulted in a '403 Forbidden' error. This has been resolved by adding CSRF and fingerprint tokens as part of the form data.
