[Bluez-users] How to initiate a Pin-Exchange?

Hi all

Probably this is a often asked Question and would belong into the FAQ secti=
on.
I was not able to find out how to search this list's archive so I probably =
ask=20
again :-)

There are some devices which cannot initiate a pin-exchange but await that =
the=20
computer does that task.
Same if you try to do a bluez - bluez connection.

How can I start the pin exchange with bluez?
bluez-pin does nothing at all as I see with hcidump.

What is bluez-pin exaclty for?

PS: Are Sitecom CN-500 USB Dongels know to OOPS Kernel 2.6.5 when plugged o=
r=20
unplugged? Any workaround?

It's used when second site request pin when connecting

Ok, but how do I request a pin from another device with bluez? Like when I =
got=20
a bluez-bluez setup?

I never needed that. I allways tried connect to remote side and second devi=
ce=20
allways requested for pin :)

The archive is down at the moment, so i can't look the history of this
thread but I hope my asumptions aren't that wrong.
If you try to connect from a bluez-computer to any other device, it
should etablish a connection. The stack should notice that there is need
for a link key and if none exists it requests a pin.

I etablished the connection with hcitool. Which prints an timeout but
completes the connection as requested.

P.S.: I noticed that bluez-pin only get the correct xauth credentials
when the bluetooth userland daemons are restarted after X is up.
Unfortunately I understand nothing from the X Authentication system, so
i have no clue why or how to fix it.

Kernel 2.6.5-mh3
bluez-libs 2.6
bluez-utils 2.6
bluez-pin 0.23
AUTH ENCRYPT
and hcid.conf: "security user;"

if you think something belongs into the FAQ, wrote it up and I add it ;)

Don't set auth and encrypt in hcid.conf unless you really wanna set your
device into security mode 3.

> How can I start the pin exchange with bluez?

	hcitool auth <bdaddr>

> What is bluez-pin exaclty for?

It is the graphical PIN helper program.

this is security mode 3 ;)

And the create connection command of hcitool is for low level testing
only. You should better use l2ping or sdptool/rfcomm for testing.

You can use the D-Bus enabled hcid and bluez-pin package.

What is security mode 3? AUTH and ENCRYPT ?
What is wrong about it?

I don't care about the output as long as it works. ;)

Hi Nicholas,

look at the Bluetooth specification or read my Bluetooth security paper.
What you really wan't is security mode 1/2 and setting auth and encrypt
is security mode 3.

Set "dbus_pin_helper" option in hcid.conf and run "bluez-pin --dbus" as
normal user.
