Action required by the end of August 2026 – update to beA Desk 1.12 is mandatory
With beA version 4.3 from BRAK, the new KSW Validation API (version v1) will be made available as a REST interface for validating messages and attachment signatures. The XKMS interface previously used for certificate validation is being deprecated 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 – meaning the verification reports for your beA messages can no longer be reliably generated.
What do you need to do? Please update to beA Desk version 1.12 by the end of August 2026 at the latest. This version already fully integrates the new KSW Validation API and ensures that your verification reports can continue to be generated without interruption 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
