random password value

[Bizadi]

Hello Nordic;

I use SDK 17.0.2 and gls example . We know for security in pairing, considered a password which that is randomly generated in SoftDevice and sent to UART. I want the name of the variable in which the password is stored after creation. i want that variable "add in watch" in SES for debug mode and read that variable.

thanks

Can you not do this by inspection - look for calls that send stuff to the UART ?

Or, put a breakpoint in the "send to UART" function, then trace back from there to see what variable provided the data ... ?

When a password is generated by a function, it must pass in a variable.

What is the function of random passwords?

[awneil]

you have the source code - have you looked?

[Bizadi]

which source ? I searched the whole program.

Well, from a quick browse through the main.c file, at line 124, I see:

#define PASSKEY_TXT                     "Passkey:"                                  /**< Message to be displayed together with the pass-key. */
#define PASSKEY_TXT_LENGTH              8                                           /**< Length of message to be displayed together with the pass-key. */
#define PASSKEY_LENGTH                  6                                           /**< Length of pass-key received by the stack for display. */

so perhaps "passkey" (rather than "password") would be the thing to search for ... ?
