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.

Encrypted SOAP response token generation updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
After configuring a SOAP service that used signature and encryption on the response, the response being created was incorrect and could not be decrypted by the receiver. Investigation showed that the API used to generate the SOAP headers was not setting the wsse11:TokenType element, causing receivers which enforce BSP compliance to fail. This has been resolved by modifying the custom webservices-rt-pega2 jar to set the token type in the case of a response encryption policy.

Handling added for samesite cookies with httpOnly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
After enabling samesite cookies on Google Chrome to support Mashup login, intermittent issues were seen with a non-mashup login where entering the OperatorID and password only resulted in a refresh of the login screen. This was traced to a scenario where an httponly cookie attribute was present along with samesite cookie attributes, and has been resolved by adding handling for a condition where samesite is set and httpOnly is enabled.

Null checks added for the presence of roles and dependent roles
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
Frequent Null Pointer errors were being generated relating to SecurityAnalysisForSecurityAdministratorsTask.getCurrentSecurityTaskDetails(). Investigation showed that the Origin and Stack trace tabs were empty, leading to the obj-open of the role failing when the role was not available in the system being utilized. This has been resolved by adding a series of null checks for role existence and dependent roles existence.
