Security-Optimization (Change the validation chain of the PLAz server certificate to a certification authority pre-installed at FI) - PLAz-Tool

Root certificate for browser import and FI security requirements:
 

Information security policy on the use of cryptographic procedures
 - For the authentication of communication partners using certificates, only currently trusted certification authorities may be stored in the IT system's certificate store. The following            requirements for maintaining certificate stores must be observed:
 - Certification authorities from other companies may only be included in certificate stores if they have successfully completed a current audit according to the rules of the CA/Browser Forum (https://cabforum.org/). It is permissible to accept CA lists from the manufacturers of currently maintained browsers and operating systems.
 

The current root certificate cannot be permanently imported via browser import. We need a short-term alternative from a trusted certification authority (similar to the other IBM servers, e.g., Ecurep).
