beA

With the ComCenter, you can access your beA mailbox.

Requirements

Permission & License

To use beA with ComCenter, your user needs to have the comcenter.channel.bea role. The tenant needs to have the comcenter.module.bea license module or comcenter.bea license.

Software Token

To use beA with ComCenter, you will need a software token (beA software certificate). You can order that from the Federal Chamber of Notaries (Bundesnotarkammer).

The software token (also known as the beA software certificate) is a file containing a digital certificate provided by the Federal Chamber of Notaries. It enables the use of beA without a beA card and card reader. To use beA with the ComCenter, a software token is absolutely required.

You can order the software token from the Federal Chamber of Notaries. More information is available on the Seiten der Bundesnotarkammer. There you will also find a detailed guide on how to create and download the software token.

The software token does not grant immediate access to the beA mailbox. For security reasons, it must first be linked to a profile and activated before it can be used. The beA user manual describes this process in detail at Neues Token hinterlegen und freischalten.

Setup

During the creation of a beA channel, the software token is uploaded. The PIN is also stored. Both information, certificate and PIN, are considered highly sensitive information, because they grant access to the beA postboxes of the owner. Certificate and PIN are encrypted in transit and at rest.

The new channel is only available to the user that created it. It cannot be seen or used or managed by any other user!
