It seems like the mgmt API, particularly the out of band management[1] isn't available via dbus. Is there a particular reason that the mgmt stuff isn't exposed via dbus? Thanks!

We have a plugin for neard, which is probably outdated by now, to do OOB, not sure if that is your use case though. > Thanks! > > Ryan > > [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/mgmt-api.txt#n1279 -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

We've looked at the neard plugin and it doesn't quiet fit our situation. It looks like some other mgmt commands are already available via dbus(discovery, etc). I'm thinking about writing a patch that would add the OOB mgmt commands to dbus. Is this a terrible idea? - Ryan > > [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/mgmt-api.txt#n1279 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Perhaps you are referring to ConnectDevice: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/adapter-api.txt#n154 We could perhaps introduce an optional property for the application to include the OOB data, but that should be validated by connecting and attempting to encrypt, if that fails the OOB should be discarded. > - Ryan > >> > [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/mgmt-api.txt#n1279 -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
