SameSite cookie setting added for Mashup support in Google Chrome v80+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
The Google Chrome browser version 80 and above now treats SameSite with a blank value as "Lax" by default, causing mashup scenarios to break. In order to compensate for this change, support has been added for setting SameSite=None in Cookie Settings; this value automatically includes the “secure” cookie flag, which enforces HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. Create a Dynamic system setting in the Pega-Engine RuleSet with the name “security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue” and the value "None" and restart the server. (The SameSite value "None" works only in secure HTTPS connections.) Note: The SameSite cookie may be set to None/Lax/Strict, based on the requirement. For cookie requirements other than mashup, it should be set as either Strict or Lax, depending upon your application.

Exception handling added for Redirect URL fetched from GRS
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When the application definition under “integration and security" tab was configured to use "Store in web storage provider" to allow choosing the storage name and the authentication profile, configuring the authentication profile to use an OpenID connect provider with the pyEndpointURL property given as a global resource setting such as (=D_SharepointDetails.url) was not working as expected. Clicking browse in the application definition sent the request to the OpenID connect provider and was returned with the error "The reference =D_SharepointDetails.url is not valid. Reason: Page name (D_SharepointDetails) from indirect reference was not found." This was traced to the Redirect URL (fetched from GRS) throwing an unhandled exception, and has been resolved.

Added handling for Authorization Server login loop
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
When the Authorization server returned an error, it was redirecting back with error, error_description, and parameters. The system then tried to start the login process again, the same error parameters were returned again, and it continued to loop this way. To resolve this issue, handling has been added for this error scenario from the Authorization Server.
