[REQUEST] Certificate usage tutorial

[Its2l82die]

Hi i would like to request a certificate usage tutorial and since i didn't know where to post my request i posted it here since it is related to tutorials and since there is not rules in this sub-forum i believe it is fine to post requests here if it isn't so please delete this thread.

the point is i don't know how to use the certificate and would like someone to post here how to use it, thanks.

There are 2 types of certs. One type is where u install it and the other is where you put it in to your steam directory. Both need CAC. You can get it from cafe.steampowered.com

 

[damn]

guys can you explain how to use those certs, step by step ?

Go to cafe.steampowered.com and then on install steam for cafes. Now Download and install steamcafe client (CAC)
Now the part im not sure about: Put your certificate into steam directory or install it and launch steam.

Well it used to be before the big security update. Now you need certs to login to cafe accounts.

Of course, you need to make a certificate request thread and get approved.
The tutorial helped me install the certificate I received and CAC works perfectly.

Steam for Cafes [cac.cfg] File Settings

- Make the user login controls appear and allow the user to use their own Steam Login with CAC.

Default:

# set "true" to make the user login controls appear and allow the user to use their own Steam Login with CAC
# AllowUserLogin = false

Changed:

# set "true" to make the user login controls appear and allow the user to use their own Steam Login with CAC
AllowUserLogin = true

* Click 'Continue' button to login to a random Cafe account, like CAC starting normally.

- Exit Steam completely after each game?
Default:

# Exit Steam completely after each game?
# ExitSteamAfterGame = true

Changed:

# Exit Steam completely after each game?
ExitSteamAfterGame = false

what abt config.cfg file for CerMaker ?

 

[r4g3dSkillz]

What about the 'config.cfg' file? Yeah, you need it for the CertMaker to install the certificate.
You can get a certificate by purchasing VIP here or wait and see if they allow certificate requests again, in which you will need at least 20 posts to do.
