RE: Send an insufficient authentication request

Hi,

Not sure if I understand here, typically you can find that when you connect to an iPhone, Android or PC that the user is prompted to pair with the device. This UI seem to be pretty straight forward enough, even though the different OS's are actually doing this differently (the trigger to execute bonding is different) on the lower level of the link. E.g. Windows will send a security request when link is established to query the security supported, while iOS does a GATT database discovery to find if any of the services and characteristics require security (insufficient authentication). The peripheral examples that supports pairing (aka bonding) works independent of which method is used, the central may do this as it see fit.

Best regards,
Kenneth
