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.

OKTA receives parameters on logout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When using an OIDC logout endpoint with a parameter set as a data page value, the data page retrieved the ID Token from the DB, but when logout was clicked the datapage name was being displayed in the browser instead of the IDToken. To resolve this, code has been added to support sending ID token parameters for logoff endpoint for OKTA logoff using OpeniD connect.

Port validation updated for redirect URI
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When an offline app for windows client was generated, trying to login via SSO resulted in the error "invalid redirect_uri". This was traced to the system validating the whole loopback redirection URL, e.g. "http://127.0.0.1:1234/redirection", including the port number. To enhance flexibility, an update has been made so that the port number will not be validated, allowing the client to establish it based on availability at the moment of the request to the authorization service. NOTE: As a best practice, a loopback URL should not be configured as a redirect URI. If a loopback URL is configured, then at run time the port number will not be validated, and the client application can use any available port on the system including ports that may not be intended for use.
