Installer files updated with class loader conflict resolution assistance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When sending emails with attachments, errors were observed relating to a loader constraint violation indicating that when resolving interface method, the class loader of the current class and the class loader for the method's defining class had different Class objects for the type used in the signature. The resolution for this requires user configuration of the app server, and the following files for the install guide have been updated with the appropriate information:Deployment-guides-dita/install.ditamap Deployment-guides-dita/Content/Topics/app-server-config/creating-jdbc-driver-module-jboss-tsk.dita Deployment-guides-dita/Content/Topics/app-server-config/delegating-javax-activation-to-JRE-loader-tsk.dita

Added timeout handling for non-PRAuth servlets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After logging in via external authentication service (SAML Single Sign On) and setting up a timeout in the access group RuleForm, when the user performed any action and the server identified the request to be timed-out, it was expected that a SAML request would be sent from the browser to the external Authentication Server (referred as IDP) and the flow would proceed from there. This worked as expected for a non-AJAX request. To resolve this, handling has been added for timeout when using non-PRAuth authentication services.

SAML data pages restored after passivation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
If login used SAML SSO, resuming the session after passivation resulted in missing or empty data pages when using an SAP integration with Pega Cloud. This was traced to a security change that modified the D_SAMLAssertionDataPage and D_SamlSsoLoginInfo data pages as readonly, causing them to not be passivated under these conditions. To resolve this, the data pages have been made editable so they will be restored as expected. This change also resolves any difficulty with SAML logoff activities in conjunction with SAP and Pega Cloud.

prproductmigration build.gradle updated for new mime4j asset name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
While running the getMigrationLog for ProductMigration script provided in the Pega 8.2.2 media files, errors appeared referencing "NoClassDefFoundErrors when running getLogs". This was caused by the referenced class not being found on the classpath: the version of the included jar did not include the class needed due to Praxiom's default version being updated to use a new version of mime4j that required an asset name change. To resolve this, the mime4j asset name in prproductmigration build.gradle has been updated to pick up the correct version of the dependency for Praxiom.

White list filter added for X-Forward-Host value security
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
In order to improve security, a validation for X-Forward-Host value has been added which will be read from a local configuration. This is in the form of a white list regex filter for the host/XFHost header to ensure the URL's actions cannot be redirected.

Query parameters will be cleared after redirection from authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When using the /PRAuth Servlet, running a snapstart URL generated from a secondary application correctly executed SAML Authentication and Pega processing, but a second URL generated with different parameters ran with the parameters from the first request. The third and subsequent requests processed as expected with the parameters sent in with the request. Investigation showed that the previous parameters were picked due to the query string parameters not being cleared after redirection, and this issue has been resolved by updating the system so it will clear the parameters after issuing a redirect from the authentication policy engine.

Updated HotFix Manager for use in older versions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
The DL logic in Hotfix Manager was changed in 8.3 to include the catalog of all framework changes. This had the unintended side effect of preventing DLs from being installed in Pega 7.3.1 and lower versions as the versions included in the catalog are not present on those systems and the validation failed. This has been resolved by revising the DL update so the system will only add all apps to the catalog for platform 7.4+ DLs.

Colon in folder or file name will be replaced with underscore during unzip
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
After creating a product file (zip), attempting to import the same file into an updated system resulted in an exception. Investigation showed that in this case the zip file was a Product rule form which had applications packaged with a colon(:) in the name of the application, a format that was allowed in 6.x versions. Because Windows machines restrict creating creating any folder or file with : in its name, the zip file could not be inflated as part of the import process. To resolve this, the system has been updated so that a colon(:) will be replaced by underscore(_) during inflate operations.

Custom agent next run time will be rescheduled if the run failed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
If a customized agent that was set to run every day encountered an exception and failed to run, restarting the agent did not update it to the next run time; it still returned the passed trigger time as its next execution time. This has been resolved with an update that will reschedule the run if the next run time is in the past.

SnapStart supports SAML2 Authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
When using an HTTP Post to SnapStart into Pega using PRCustom style or PRAuth style SAML authentication, the login was looping back to the login request. Investigation showed that the Pega ACS was posting data properly back to the RelayState URL, however the login activity was not getting the SAMLResponse and simply sent a SAML Login Request again. This has been fixed by updating reqContextURI in case of SAML2 Authentication service so pyActivity=value will be passed.
