Enabling out-of-the-box Security Policies now redirects immediately
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When enabling out-of-the-box Security Policies, it was not immediately redirecting to the change password screen but instead requiring the timeout interval to expire before redirect happened. This has been corrected.

Change Password redirect loop fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.7
When URLEncryption is enabled along with Security Policies, redirection to the Change Password screen caused the browser to loop into an endless redirect (HTTP 302 loop). This was caused by Incorrect (un-obfuscated) data being used internally when obfuscation was enabled, and has been fixed.

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.

Enhancement added for tenant-level authentication
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
In a multi-tenant PDC with a few tenants that utilize their own custom SSO, a pre-authentication activity inside a tenant that should block community access was also affecting tenants that did not have that pre-auth activity set. This was a missed use case and has been resolved by adding a tenantId hash in SchemePRAuth.makeUniqueSchemeName() to create the authServiceName.

Authorization token handling and cleanup improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
When using a mobile app configured with default authentication, clicking on the "Trouble logging in?" link opened a new window and displayed the message "please contact your system administrator" along with the error "Only authenticated client may start this activity: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY CODE-SECURITY PZGETAUTHORIZATIONCODE". This has been resolved. In addition, the OAuth token generation and handling has been improved, and the purge agent has been updated to accept a DSS setting for the max number of expired records to purge each time it is run. The default value is 5000.

LookUpList correctly executes during SSO login with model operator
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.4
After configuring SSO to create operators on fly using a model operator, a new user logging in for the very first time had their operator ID created using the model operator, but after upgrade new users logging in to the system received the error "Only authenticated client may start this activity: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS LOOKUPLIST". This was due to the methods used for additional security on the activity @baseclass LookUpList which allows it to only be run by authenticated users, and has been resolved.
