Allianz UserCA

Allianz UserCA (CA4) is a Sub-CA of Allianz Group Root CA II and the successor to the defunct Allianz Dresdner CA (CA3).

Its object is to issue dual-purpose software certicates (user-authentication and secure email) for employess and external staff. (The dual-purpose solution is planned to be replaced by a 2-certificate solution still in 2009).

Allianz UserCA software certificates can be enrolled from within Allianz Corporate Network and AWIN Network.

They are published to Allianz Group Directory to the sub-trees appropriate for client-authentication and secure e-mail.

Certificates issued by Allianz UserCA are used for the following purposes

• secure e-mail (S/MIME e-mail encryption and signing)
  (only Allianz UserCA can be used for this purpose within Allianz Group!)
  
  
• user authentication within Intranet (IND/GIN etc.)
  (for this purpose Allianz UserCA is second in line to Allianz Smartcard CA.
  - users in possession of SSO-cards (major German OEs) should authenticate with SmartCards.
  - others can use Allianz UserCA software tokens
