# Ytstenut C2S Account Setup

For a client-to-server scenario, Telepathy needs to be configured with the account to use. We'll be using a fictional account of [[romeo@montague.org|mailto:romeo@montague.org]] with the password of 1234. 

1. Add account 

[[!format txt """
mc-tool add gabble/jabber Romeo string:account=romeo@montague.org string:password=1234
"""]]
You will see `mc-tool` reporting back an account ID of `gabble/jabber/romeo_40montague_2eorg0`. 

1. Activate the account 
Newly added accounts are turned off by default, that needs to be changed in order to use it. 


[[!format txt """
mc-tool enable gabble/jabber/romeo_40montague_2eorg0
"""]]
1. Finally the account needs to be _online_ so it can be discovered by peers. 

[[!format txt """
mc-tool request gabble/jabber/romeo_40montague_2eorg0 available
"""]]
The account summary and current status can be inspected using 


[[!format txt """
mc-tool show gabble/jabber/romeo_40montague_2eorg0
"""]]
In case the server uses an invalid SSL certificate, the check can be switched off. However one should be aware of the security implications. 


[[!format txt """
mc-tool update gabble/jabber/romeo_40montague_2eorg0 bool:ignore-ssl-errors=true
"""]]
