Version 9.1.224.2 (Support Release - 9 July 2026)

Communication Portal

Allow Discussion to load inside V8 (#152682)

Problem

• When a learner opens the new Discussion feature from within the older (V8) part of the system, the Discussion area fails to load: the request reaches WebMVC's `DiscussionController`, but the downstream gRPC call to CommunicationPortal.API short-circuits with `User access token unavailable`, and the user is signed out.

Solution

• Set `AuthenticationType = Bearer` in WebMVC's JWT `TokenValidationParameters`. On `Cookies,Bearer` endpoints, the merged principal now carries a Bearer-typed identity, so the existing fast path forwards the inbound token and the local and downstream identities agree.
  

Resolved banner metadata not showing on the list (#152734)

Problem

The data can be passed in a different format than what is expected can have a wrapper as well

Solution

• Add fallback to correct the path and the value to show the background colour, date and expires date
  

System Access

Resolve problem on virtual tours with activeTab= query param (#152722)

Problem

• Landing page when logging in as well as FitAndProper sharelink breaks when accessing

Solution

• Since "activeTab" contains "tab", the first condition matches. But when splitting by "tab=", there's no "tab=" in the string (only "activeTab="), so Split returns a single-element array. Accessing index [1] throws the exception.
• Check for "tab=" instead of "tab" (includes the equals sign)
• Check for "activeTab=" instead of "activeTab" (includes the equals sign)
• Add bounds checking before accessing array indices
• Limit split to 2 parts for better performance
• Use case-insensitive comparison for robustness
