Action required by end of August 2026 – Update to beA Desk 1.12 required
With beA version 4.3 from BRAK, the new KSW Validation API (version v1) will be provided as a REST interface for validating messages and signatures of message attachments. The previously used XKMS interface for certificate validation is being discontinued and will be shut down at the end of August 2026.
What does this mean for you? Without this update, certificate validation will no longer be possible after that date – the verification reports for your beA messages will no longer be able to be generated reliably.
What do you need to do? Please update to beA Desk version 1.12 by no later than the end of August 2026. This version already fully integrates the new KSW Validation API and ensures that your verification reports can continue to be generated without interruption even after the old interface is shut down.
Please note:
The following components must also be updated – if you are using them:
- New Winsolvenz version 11.7.102
- New Documents version 8.8.195.16
- New Usermanagement version 1.11.0
If you are using the STP Cloud, the following must also be updated where applicable:
- New WOPC (Winsolvenz OnPremise Connector) version 11.7.102
- New STP.OnPremise.Connector version 1.10.0
- New STP Documents OnPremise Agent version 1.14.3.0
If you are using Input Management, the following must also be updated:
- New STP Winsolvenz FLOW Connector version 1.0.104
