# How to Create a GSLT Token for Your Aska Server (/docs/aska/gslt-token)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

A GSLT is **required** for Aska — without it, your server won't appear in the in-game browser.

Creating a GSLT [#creating-a-gslt]

1. Go to [Steam Game Server Account Management](https://steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers)
2. Log in with a Steam account that:
   * **Owns Aska**
   * Has a **registered phone number**
   * Is not VAC-banned or limited
3. Enter App ID: **1898300** (the game's App ID)
4. Add a description (e.g., "My Aska Server")
5. Click **Create**
6. Copy the token

> ⚠️ **Important:** Use App ID **1898300** (the game), NOT 3246670 (the dedicated server tool).

Adding the Token [#adding-the-token]

In `server properties.txt`:

```
authentication token = YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
```

Or set it via the **Startup** tab in the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com).

Without a GSLT [#without-a-gslt]

Your server will show a "CustomAuthenticationFailed" error and won't appear in the browser. The GSLT is mandatory.
