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.

Cross-site scripting protection added to Pega App Studio Spaces
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
Ajax Request's callback success method has a mechanism to process the response object's HTML responseText, initiate and modify the changeTracker changes, and eventually call renderUI to render the DOM. However, the response object sometimes may return a different type (JSON) that may expose cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. To improve security for the Pega App Studio, the system will process the Ajax request's response text only if the response date type is not JSON by accepting a flag in the callback object passed by the caller.

Handling added for custom error message in post-authentication activity
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
The error message in post authentication activity was always appearing as 'Login terminated because a post-authentication activity or policy failed' irrespective of the actual message being conditionally set in the activity based on post authentication logic. Investigation showed that the parameter page in the SSO post-authentication activity was not being passed to the 'pzShowAuthPolicyError' activity due to the post-authentication activity executing in authenticated context whereas the HTML fragment executed in the un-authenticated context. In order to support this use, post-authentication activity will set the error message on a predefined property and propagate that to the HTML fragment by appending the error message as a query parameter in the redirect exception URL post-authentication failure.

Corrected test connection for LDAP AuthService using keystore
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When using a AuthService rule defined for LDAP using ldaps:// and a KeyStore rule that was defined to reference a local file in the server, the Test Connection button on the AuthService rule did not work and generated the following exception: "com.pega.apache.commons.httpclient.contrib.ssl.AuthSSLInitializationError: I/O error reading keystore/truststore file: null". Investigation showed that file reference keystore did not work with an LDAPS test connection because while run time used the LDAPVerifyCredentials activity, the design time validation used the activity “ValidateInfrastructure” which did not have the required code to support file reference keystore. This has been corrected.

Enhancement added to modify URL encryption for load testing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
An enhancement has been added which allows conditionally modifying URL encryption for load testing. This uses the flag crypto/useportablecipherforurlencryption: if true, a portable hardcoded key is used to encrypt the URLs and if false, a dynamically generated key per thread/requestor is used to encrypt the URL.

Removed unnecessary cross-site scripting filtering on paragraph rule
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
When a link was set in a paragraph rule, the target option was removed in the returned layout structure. This was traced to unnecessary XSS filtering which has now been removed.
