Is it possible in a HID mode disable bonding to HID?

[Mikhail]

Hi!

SDK15, s132, SD6.0.0, nRF52832

I have nRF52832 in central mode and some bonded HID devices and another nRF52832 peripherial devices.

Now in the my central nRF52832 I start advertise with HID services. If any smartphon wants to bond with my device, it can bond with passkey. 

How to make on my nRF52832 HID device that all boneded devices will works and connect, but there will be no bond request from any not bonded smartphon?

Hi, 

Please correct me if I'm wrong. You have a central device that connect to some HID devices. Now on your central device you also want it to be a HID peripheral so the phone can connect to it ? And you only wants some phones which are bonded to connect to it. Any other phones shouldn't be able to connect and bond with it ? 

If it's the case, you can use whitelist to block any non-bonded phone to connect to your device. You can have a special mode (pairing mode) that whitelist is disabled to allow unknown device to connect to your device.

Hi!

Yes, you correct understand it.

I want in normal mode just connect to already bonded to HID device (smartphone). Any other phones shouldn't be able to connect and bond with it.

How to use whitelist at this case? How to configure whitelist to work only with already bonded devices and for non bonded with any new devices?

May be you mean instead of whitelist

static void peer_manager_init(void)?

To find more about whitelisting, you can have a look at the ble_app_hids_mouse example. Have a look at the documentation here.

You can call ble_advertising_restart_without_whitelist() to start the mode without whitelist (accepting new bond)

Yes, I understand about whitelist. But I think that this is not that case. I already use whitelist. When I try to bond- whitelist disable for receive all devices around. When I work in normal mode and don't need any bond, I use enable whitelist. And connected only to previously bonded devices. But !!!! if works in this mode, if device advertise with hid service, possible to connect with another smartphone and bond with passkey.
