Action required by the end of August 2026 – Update to beA Desk 1.12 needed
With beA version 4.3 from BRAK, the new KSW Validation API (version v1) is being introduced as a REST interface for validating messages and signatures of message attachments. The previously used XKMS interface for certificate validation is being phased out and will be discontinued at the end of August 2026.
What does this mean for you? Without the update, certificate validation will no longer be possible after this date – the verification logs 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 fully integrates the new KSW Validation API and ensures that your verification logs 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 use them:
- new Winsolvenz version 11.7.102
- new Documents version 8.8.195.16
- new User Management version 1.11.0
If you use the STP Cloud, you must also update the following components if 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 use Input Management, you must also update:
- new STP Winsolvenz FLOW Connector version 1.0.104
If you use InsO-Up, you must also update:
- new InsO-Up Cockpit version 9.3.2
With beA Desk version 1.12 (Client version: 1.12.20; Server version: 1.12.11), packages have been updated and several bugs have been fixed.
