Requestor token creation added for PRExternal authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When using a PRExternal authentication scheme, the csrfsession requestor token was not created. This caused a heavy volume of INFO logging messages in production due to the null token. This authentication path has now been added and the token will be correctly created for use.

Improved performance for incorrect password handling
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
When the operator entered the wrong password in the login screen, numerous "Stream Overwritten" alerts appeared the Alert log. There was no workflow problem involved, but the logging indicated that there was an additional unnecessary call being made to Stream Web-Login, and that unneeded call has been removed to improve system performance and remove the error being logged.

Corrected validation error for Extract rule field length
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.9
A validation error noting that the field length of the table was limited to 30 characters was occurring when trying to check in an Extract rule even if the field value had been shortened. While checking in the extract rule, a block of code in the Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties was recomputing the pagelist's table name instead of using the one provided by the user. The Rule-Utility-Function validateTreeProperties function has been modified to fix the issue.

Operator provisioning on authentication service corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When operator provisioning was triggered on user login via authentication service, the error "ModelOperatorName is not valid. Reason: declare page parameters not supported by PropertyReference" was generated. This was traced to optimization work that had been done on the expression evaluation for operator identification, and has been resolved by adding the required GRS Syntax support in the Operator Provisioning section in SAML and OIDC.

Property check handling updated for Ajax requestor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
SECU0001 alerts were seen when submitting a case in the interaction portal. Logging indicated the errors were related to the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties which are included in an Ajax request when they exist in the DOM and the 'pyGeolocationTrackingIsEnabled' when rule is true. The error was traced to a condition where a new thread request results in an unexpected property check that encounters a clipboard which doesn't have any pages created for that thread. To resolve this, the 'pxRequestor.pyLatitude' and 'pxRequestor.pyLongitude' properties have been added to an allow list to handle the unexpected properties check.

System will attempt to decrypt data ending in "+"
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Encrypting and decrypting one specific email address was not working properly when showing on the UI. It was possible to force a decryption using decryptproperty, but Pega generated an error. This was due to the actual encrypted value ending with '+', which conflicted with a system check that skips decryption if the encrypted property value ends with + . To resolve this, the system will attempt to decrypt the property even when encryptedText ends with + .

CSRF token handling added to Bulk Processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
On click of submit button from the bulk transfer screen, the pzbulkprocess harness was loaded and the portal was automatically logged off. Investigation showed that when CSRF was enabled, loading pzBulkProcess failed with a 403 error that resulted in logging off the current session due to a missing fingerprint token. This has been resolved by adding both CSRF token and fingerprint generation logic to pzBulkProcessingList.
