[Bluez-users] Is there authenticate only incoming mode

[Bluez-users] Is there authenticate only incoming mode

[Joe Sloan]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure hcid so that authentication (i.e. PIN 
challenge) is only invoked on incoming connections. I'd like to make a 
PIN request only if some other device tries to use my PC (e.g. object 
push) but it is not required if I want to send to them (and my PC 
initiates the connection). I'm not too bothered about encryption at this 
stage..

I've searched the newslist and tried configuring hcid.conf but haven't 
been able to get it working. Guess it is not intended to  work that way.

Joe

this is only possible with security mode 2.
